Aisling studied at the Limerick School of Art & Design, and is a professional member of Visual Artists Ireland, Mart Studios, the National Register of Reflexologists, and is a Health Ambassador for IMVA - Immersive Galleries for Irish Artists. 

"Coup D’oeil", a new exhibition by Aisling, explores how a glance or glimpse can evoke deep emotional responses, shaping sensory perception. 

The work examines the link between these fleeting visual impressions and the visceral changes they induce, driven by the autonomic nervous system. 

Drawing influence from ancient Roman provinces  as well as the mythic allure of Atlantis, and the universal memories of summer days and blue skies - the artist taps into these shared experiences to evoke emotional resonance with her audience.
