John O Shea Art

American, 1876-1956

John O'Shea was born in Ireland and immigrated to New York at the age of 16, where he studied at the Adelphi Academy and the Art Students League. O’Shea moved to the Monterey Peninsula circa 1917, where he was busy in the local art community, serving as the President of the Carmel Art Association. O'Shea was a versatile artist, painting in oil, watercolor and charcoal; his bold, vibrant paintings of figures, landscapes, fantasies and portraits were avant-garde. O’Shea is remembered for his wide travels in search of subject matter. He painted Hawaii, Tahiti, Mexico and the Southwest as well as the Carmel-Monterey area.
