Kevin O' Dwyer is an internationally exhibited artist whose works embrace the fields of design, metalworking and sculpture.
He began his training in 1979 with jeweller Harriet Dreissigger and continued his studies with silversmiths William Frederick and Heikki Seppä.
He has also occupied roles as artist-in-residence in the U.S state of Georgia, and lecturer in design methods at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, where he taught students business and product development skills.
O'Dwyer's artwork is influenced by Irish prehistoric art, bronze-age artefacts, early monastic metalwork, and 20th century design and architecture.
His childhood was divided between the monastic ruins of Tipperary and the skyscrapers of Manhattan.and this has influenced the way he approached the creation of artefacts or site-specific installations.
