Michael O’Toole’s work vibrantly glows as though illuminated from within by golden light. Born in Vancouver, O’Toole discovered a love of art in childhood that has now become an “all-consuming passion.” Originally an architect, he left to pursue painting full time and developed his lustrous Impressionist style spanning landscapes, seascapes and portraits, whose radiance is intensified by deep shadows. O’Toole works in acrylics, watercolors, pen and ink, graphite, airbrush and gouache, and has had many successful exhibitions in Canada.
