Lucy and Robert Carter of the Grilse Gallery in Killorglin would have pleased many of Maria Simonds-Gooding’s admirers by mounting an exhibition of her recent work. 

Wisely, they have chosen instead to show a selection of the Dunquin-based artist’s paintings, plaster works and prints from throughout her career, demonstrating the evolution of her unique style over six decades. The exhibition, What land and country is this?, will run until 18 May.
