O’Connor was a notable landscape artist whose subject matter predominately revisited the natural
environment of his native Killarney. Having spent some time in the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art,
O’Connor exhibited in 1940 at the Munster Fine Art Exhibition in Cork. A year later he obtained a studio
in the Town Hall in Killarney and for the next fifty years painted and exhibited at this location. O’Connor
exhibited with the RHA in 1945 and 1946 and from 1946 to 1990 with the Watercolour Society of Ireland.
