Juror

Desmond O’Hagan was born in Wiesbaden, Germany, and was raised in the United States.   Although he appreciates many different forms of art, continuous study of several late 19th century Russian, American, Spanish, and French painters has had a strong influence on O’Hagan’s own art. Constantly challenging himself has translated into a fulfilling career in fine art encompassing several one-man shows and participation in group exhibitions in the United States, Japan, China, Canada, and France. 

He is a member of IAPS’ “Master Circle” and is a Master Pastelist with the Pastel Society of America.  O’Hagan is also listed in Who’s Who in American Art, and Who’s Who in America.  He has won several awards including the IAPS’ Prix’d Pastel Award, and the George Innes, Jr. Memorial Award from the Salmagundi Club (NYC). 

His art has been the subject of feature articles in numerous national and international magazines including “American Art Collector”, “The Artist’s Magazine”,  “American Artist“, “Southwest Art”, “The Artist” (England), “International Artist”,  “Gekkan Bijyutsu Art Magazine” (Japan), and United Airlines’ “Hemispheres” magazine. 

O’Hagan’s paintings have also been featured in several books including Rockport Publisher’s, The Best of Pastel, The Best of Oil, and North Light Books’ Painting with Pastels by Maggie Price.

His art is in public and private collections in the United States, Japan, Canada, and Europe.  O’Hagan’s paintings are represented by galleries in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Charleston, South Carolina, and Denver, Colorado. 

He also teaches a variety of workshops throughout the year.
