An exhibition of paintings and sculptures by Irish artist Selma McCormack will go on display at Kenny's Art Gallery from Friday, 11 January.

Selma who lives and works between Spiddal and Dublin studied painting and sculpture part time for many years before starting to exhibit her work in the late 1980s.

Originally her sculptures consisted of clay and wax modelling and she later exhibited bronze casts of her work.

Generally figurative in subject matter, she continues to produce works in bronze, and occasionally in ceramics, especially of the figure in motion and of animal studies.

Selma followed her early success in sculpture by developing her own distinctive painting style from the early 1990s. Her influences include Robert Motherwell, Patrick Heron and Nicholas de Staël among others.

Her time is divided between the two disciplines of painting and sculpture. She approaches each with equal enthusiasm.

'Capturing Dreams' will run until Wednesday 31 January.
