Welcome to PatriArts Virtual and [now] Real Galleries!
Since 1997, we have primarily sold our pieces through our online (virtual) gallery.
At last, we are ready to open a "bricks & mortar" [actually "cement block & stucco"] studio, workshop, and showroom to our patrons (by appointment and invitation).

Irish Art - Paintings & Prints of Ireland by Barrie Maguire

Welcome to Irish Culture and Customs, a labor of love we began several years ago. What started as a surprise milestone birthday trip to Ireland became the beginning of a journey through time. A 2,000-year voyage on a quest to learn as much as we can about everything Irish. So here's where we are so far - more than 700 pages that range from Irish poetry, superstitions , Kids Stories and recipes to specific Irish calendar celebrations such as St. Patrick's Day , Beltane, Samhain and the Feast of St. Brigid. Whether it's an Irish symbol such as the shillelagh, the Shamrock and the Book of Kells or an Irish craft like Aran Isle knitting, you'll discover a wide range of topics in our index. We hope you find the little bit of Ireland you may be looking for.
