Birgit O'Connor

Birgit is a nationally recognized artist, teacher, and author and her art is collected the world over. Her paintings stir emotions and have been called "evocative, ethereal, intense, even erotic". She has won literally dozens of important awards including "Best of Show" multiple times. She is a member of National Women's Caucus of Art, California Watercolor Society, Louisiana Watercolor Society, Who's who in America, Who's who in American woman, Federation of Canadian Artists, Vancouver, BC as well as other societies. She has been featured on many magazine covers (including those below) and writes extensively for several national publications.

Of her art Birgit says, "I feel that when you are accustomed to seeing something in the same way day after day you seem to forget the beauty that is held within it. I feel as though I have the opportunity to take someone into a place they have seen before and give them a different perspective. I would like people to feel as if they could be part of another world. To see beauty and simplicity, within that complexity. Everything has a voice that not everyone can hear, the form is the language the content the voice...

As an artist, I find it sometimes difficult to part with my work. My paintings are like my children and I feel that each has its own destiny. I believe that as artists, it is our gift to create and share our creations with others. I also believe that my work will travel where it needs to go and be seen by those who need to see it. Art is a valuable healing experience for both the creator and the observer and my art is what I am here to do."
