This exhibition showcases works made by artist Ina Olohan in celebration of Colmcille 1500. The works reflect the artist’s research into Colmcille’s life and myth. The visual imagery and written text tell stories of St. Colmcille and highlight the rich cultural heritage left in his wake. The work is mixed media including collage, textiles, block print and stitch, and explores the making of natural dyes and inks used by Columban monks in illuminated manuscripts.

Ina Olohan is a mixed media artist working on paper and fabric. Based in Kells, in Co. Meath, she grew up surrounded by the history and heritage of the Columban monks.
