The latest exhibition at The Aisling Gallery in Ballydehob features Fiona Power and Cormac O'Leary who have collaborated on this joint exhibition and have been fellow artists since meeting at art college in Sligo in the 1980s. Their differing approaches to the theme From Sea To Sky, creates an exhibition which is pleasingly cohesive and yet diverse.
