Vincent Keeling was born in Dublin in 1973 and from an early age demonstrated a keen interest in art. Although largely self taught from 1989 - 1991 he was lucky enough to study under the renowned painter Brian McCarthy, who offered invaluable training and guidance in the craft of oil painting. With this help Vincent soon distinguished himself by being accepted into the Royal Hibernian Academy Annual Exhibition at the age of eighteen; one of the youngest ever to do so. Since then Vincent has gone on to exhibit widely in Dublin, showing in, among others, the Solart Gallery, the Oisin Gallery, The Green Gallery and Combridge Fine Arts.
