Event Description
Catherine Fraser has visited Iona four times between 2009-2015. “There is a special energy I experience on Iona,” she says, “The air is different, other worldly and timeless, renewing and replenishing my creativity.” On daily excursions, the artist visited stone age burial sites, isolated beaches and rocky hilltops, traversing fields of heather and skirting peat bogs. The photo of Fraser shows her seated beside The Well of Eternal Youth, believed blessed by Saint Birgit of Ireland in the 6th century.
