Healy served as President of The Dublin Painters Society, Treasurer of the RHA, was a member of
the selection committee of The Oireachtas Exhibitions and served on the board of Governors of
The National Gallery of Ireland. He was a well-loved teacher and held classes during the summer in
Dooega, Achill Island where he had a cottage and in Dublin during the winter. They became “more
clubs than classes’’.
He exhibited more than 130 works at the RHA and held solo shows at the Barrenhill, Gallery,Howth,
and the Taylor Galleries Dublin. A Retrospective of his work, ‘’Poet of Paint’’, was held at The George
Gallery Dublin in 1990.
