Born in Carrickfergus in 1924, Armstrong went on to become one of the leading Northern Irish painters of his generation.
Although he came late to art as a career, having originally started training as an architect, he found early recognition and was soon part of the group around Gerard Dillon and George Campbell.
His work is in collections including National Museums Northern Ireland, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Crawford Art Gallery, Cork, Malaga Museum of Fine Arts and Limerick Municipal Art Gallery.
