Charles McAuley
Charles
McAuley was born in the Glens of Antrim, 1910. He was renowned for his landscape and figurative work.
He briefly attended the Belfast Technical College, but was essentially a self-taught artist.
James H. Craig encouraged the young McAuley after judging an art competition at a Feis in the Glens of
Antrim during his formative years. McAuley better then any other artist, managed to capture the light
in the Glens. His first one-man exhibiton was at the Master's Hand Gallery, Ballymena.
His works
can be found in many private collections and in the Ulster Museum.
Charles McAuley died on 30th
September 1999.
