The Blackwater Valley Makers Art and Craft Gallery at 12 McCurtain Street, Fermoy are delighted
to announce a new visiting exhibition for the months of July and August. The show is titled
“Where Wings Meet Water” and is a collection of stained glass pieces by the artist Gaby Aubin
who is based in West Cork. The work centres on birds, animals, and marine life, translating careful
observation into glass through colour, line, and light.
Gaby was born in Essex, England and moved to West Cork when she was just six years old. Gaby
says, “I was encouraged from a very early age to spend most of my time outdoors with nature,
including lots of dogs and horses. My parents were both very artistic so my love of art began. I
have worked with glass and horses especially, for the last 35 years.”
Gaby trained in traditional stained glass while living back in England and has since developed her
practice independently, refining her skills in Ti?any style copper-foil techniques. Wirework
elements draw on her background in jewellery making, while hand-painted
