Biography
Don O'Neill was born in 1924 in Buffalo, New York. He received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from Catholic University of America in Washington, DC in 1953, and was a practicing architect working in the Washington, DC and Riverside, California areas of the United States.
After retiring from architecture, O'Neill took up watercolor painting more seriously. He was taken on as a pupil of Milford Zornes, and eventually became a signature member of Watercolor West, the National Watercolor Society, and the American Watercolor Society, and was the first Inland Empire resident to ever be accepted into the American Watercolor Society.
O'Neill died of pancreatic cancer in 2007 at the age of 83.
