Declan Mulvany
Killarney Art Gallery owner - Declan Mulvany

Heritage

Art flows through the veins of Killarney Art Gallery owner Declan Mulvany in a creative family bloodline that dates back to the 19th century, when in 1885 Dominic Mulvany, Declan’s great-grandfather, started a Picture Framing and Gilding business in Dublin, setting in motion a four-generation artistic family tradition that thrives to this day.

Declan joined the family business in 1978, learning the skills and intricacies of the trade under the watchful eye of his father Paddy Mulvany, a master craftsman of renown, before eventually setting out to open his own business in Killarney in 1990.
