O Cree-awn) is an Irish artist who has exhibited
widely around Ireland. His work consists of
drawings and paintings and features cityscapes
of Dublin, images based on Irish history and
other work with social/political themes.
Caoimhghin studied at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin where he obtained a BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art. He subsequently undertook post-graduate study in the interdisciplinary field of Cultural Studies in Dublin City University obtaining a Masters degree in Communications and Cultural Studies. Caoimhghin is an Irish speaker and holds a PhD in Language and Politics which is published under the title Language from Below: The Irish Language, Ideology and Power in 20th-Century Ireland.

He is currently learning Spanish while concentrating his time on a new series of oil paintings examining the daily existence of people making a living in the worst working conditions in the global economy.
