Yoko Akino’s exhibition, An Irish Rhapsody.

We were delighted to welcome Yoko Akino to the Hamilton Gallery for the launch of her exhibition, An Irish Rhapsody. The exhibition was launched to coincide with the St. Brigid’s Day celebrations. Yoko was inspired by St. Brigid as both a goddess and saint, by their living connections to rural life and to the landscape. The exhibition continues until the 23 March.

Yoko Akino’s exhibition also coincided with the launch of two St Brigid’s Day / Imbolc Stamps which the artist designed for An Post. The images below are linked directly to the An Post website where you can view the stamps.
