About Artist Kelly Hood

A skilled painter and artist, who specialises in uniquely Irish images and animal scenes, Kelly Hood has seen huge interest in her cow paintings from collectors and galleries. Her super-realist black and white style has won her fans worldwide, with original paintings by the Dingle artist owned by The Cranberries, Tommy Tiernan, Richard Bruton, Perth Racecourse in Scotland, and by Terry Wogan.
'I eat them, I wear them, and I paint them... I owe them something, don't I?" says Kelly Hood, who has become known as the 'Cow Painter', thanks to the pop-art look she brings to the local Kerry cows, in her uniquely realistic monochrome paintings.
'I'm regularly asked, 'why cows?' and it's probably because the cow is a universally loved animal. The cow represents different things to different people all around the world. She's sacred, she's historical, she connects us to our past; but the common feeling is one of affection. She simply makes everyone smile' Kelly Hood says.
