Brian Ballard studied in his home town at Belfast College of Art and went on to further studies at Liverpool College of Art.

Best known for his modern treatment of the traditional genres of still life, nude and landscape, and his distinctive use of bold yet evocative colour, he now works mainly in Belfast and on Inishfree Island off the coast of Donegal. Examples of his work can be found in the collections of the Arts Council of Ireland, Arts Council of Northern Ireland, AIB, Crawford Municipal Gallery and the Ulster Museum.
His very successful touring retrospective exhibition is currently on show at Rathfarnham Castle until 16th December.
