Local Ballaghaderreen artist’s stunning visual art exhibition

Maria May, an established artist from Ballaghaderreen, has opened her debut solo exhibition, 'Sruthanna Comhcheangailte – The Fluidity of Interconnection,' at the Ballinglen Art Gallery in Ireland. The exhibition, which runs until 15 March 2026, features abstract interpretations of the Major Arcana Tarot cards through mixed media, stitching, poetry, and collage, exploring themes of belonging, reconnection, and healing.

The exhibition is significant as it highlights the contributions of a mature artist and the value of lived experience in creative practice. It also underscores the role of regional art foundations in providing important platforms for artists, fostering dialogue, and celebrating local talent within the national cultural landscape.
