The Wilde Thistle Celtic Cafe and Pub Hosting Celtic Art Show
The works of acclaimed Irish-American Artist Steve O’Loughlin are currently on display at
the Wilde Thistle located in the Palms District of Los Angeles; the public is invited to drop by anytime to see and enjoy this visually stunning collection of Celtic Art. Open for less than two years. The Wilde Thistle is a family run business, the brainchild of Caity Wallace who has had considerable experience in running a tea room and shop. It is a nice cozy place with great food and ambiance and well worth a visit on it’s own merits. Aside from hosting Art Shows, the cafe & pub has a very good schedule of entertainment and events each month.
O’Loughlin moved to LA after getting a formidable education in the arts with a BFA from the California College of Art and a Masters from the San Francisco Art Institute. He now resides in Westchester with his wife, Lynda and their two children, Haley 19 and Neil, 14.
O’Loughlin is an amiable and intelligent guy who has won acclaim as a multi-faceted artist: painter, sculptor and musician. His latest works have been in the realm of public art and he is now working on sacred art for Holy Nativity Church in Westchester. The art on display by O’Loughlin is very contemporary Celtic inspired with an imaginative whimsy that is unmatched by any other artist. About it O’Loughlin explains,
“My artwork combines Celtic designs and other decorative motifs with contemporary imagery. I often draw upon my local community for inspiration. Therefore, freeways, Latin culture, jet airliners and social themes interlace together in a swirling celebration of color and rhythm.”
The Wilde Thistle is located at 3456 Motor Ave. in L.A. www.wildethistle.com www.stevenoloughlin.comSteve O’Loughlin (shown on right) the artist and attendee for the Art Show
