Emblem Our national emblem, the Shamrock Represented here as our island encircled by its heritage of many shades of green and the blues of our rivers and seas. Growing up within the local heritage of the Boyne Valley, Colette’s work is inspired by ancient Celtic art.  Colette uses nib and ink to create intricate colourful drawings creating a contemporary interpretation of the iconic imagery of the Book of Kells. Please note that colour may differ slightly from photos due to different monitor settings.
