For over four decades, Patrick O’Hara has built an international reputation as a leading botanical artist, celebrated for his distinctive and highly detailed representations of wild flowers. His artistic journey began with life-size, handcrafted porcelain sculptures of botanical subjects, and more recently, he has become known for his exquisite botanical watercolour paintings.
Patrick’s work has been exhibited in major cities around the world, including London, New York, Dublin, and Tokyo – and at the UN. His art is held in numerous public and private collections, admired for both its beauty, delicacy and ecological insight.
Unlike traditional botanical illustrations that often isolate plant specimens, Patrick’s art emphasizes the ecological relationships that define a plant’s natural environment. Each piece portrays wildflowers in their native habitats, surrounded by the insects, birds, and small animals they coexist with. This approach offers a more holistic understanding of plant ecology, helping viewers appreciate the complex interdependence of species in the natural world.
Through his lifelong dedication, Patrick O’Hara has not only advanced the field of botanical art, but also deepened public appreciation for the biodiversity of wild landscapes and the urgent need for conservation.
