Beauty and Power...

an intoxicating combination

Tara, ancient seat of the High Kings of Ireland overlooks the Plains of Meath as guardian of 5,000 years of Ireland’s history.

Tara has been at the centre of the myths and legends of power, divinity, love and war back through the mists of time in Ireland.

The threads can be traced back in the oral traditions of the poets and seers, whose stories were written down by Christian scribes in the last centuries of the first millennium.

Now at the start of the third millennium two artists reflecting the main traditions on the island, north and south – have joined forces in an artistic exploration of rediscovery and interpretation.

The resulting collection: Threads of Power is a dramatic combination of the artist’s enigmatic experiences at Tara, intermingled with the Kings, heroes and lovers whose stories have been embellished by poet and scribe alike.

Welcome to the Threads of Power website, which presents paintings from the collection, information about the artists and the myths and legends that add magic to the beauty of the landscape at Tara - seat of the High Kings of Ireland
