No one is too far from the sea in Sligo so it’s no surprise that a young artist has been heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean crashing against the shore where she grew up in Ballinfull.

The north Sligo woman, Rachel Martin (24), has launched her first art exhibition in the Hamilton Gallery, Sligo which will run until the 28th of this month.
