James Manley RUA

James Manley was born 1934 in St. Helens in Lancashire, England but moved to Ireland to teach. It was through his teaching job that he grew passionate about art, developing his mixed media style which encompasses water colour, acrylic, pastel and collage.
This approach has proved successful and the artist has been presented with several awards, including Ross’s Watercolour Prize (2005) and the McGonigal Prize (1979).
