The Hill Of The Herbs
Large scale A2 print from my Ballyhaise collection Scéalta Dár dTalún framed in Oak coloured large 58X78cm frame
The townland of Drumliffe translates as Hill Of The Herbs. It is named so because it is famous for its wonderful herb selection which grows naturally, they say people came from all over to pick herbs to make medicine. The medical students of St Brican's in Ballyconnell came & Eoghan Roe O’Neill's Physician is said to have picked his herbs here too.. The best time to pick was at sun rise as the morning dew kept them fresh.

In 2017, Jackie spent six months gathering research by walking the land and speaking to the knowledgeable locals of Ballyhaise. This locality is where she grew up and still lives today and so it was important to explore deep into its roots. The Exhibition itself launched in the beautiful Agricultural College in Ballyhaise in August 2017 as part of heritage week and creative Ireland. This was a huge success and it was wonderfully received by locals. Each print in the Scéalta Dàr dTalún exhibition tells a story of Ballyhaise land and the artwork is Jackie’s artistic interpretation of these stories, myths, and facts.
“As I walk through the Ballyhaise landscape regularly, I look, I listen, I wait. I know there are messages to be discovered from deep within the soil. I know we can’t know for sure what happened here before, my hope is to create a passageway for the viewer into the curiosities of the river Annalee, the one tree, the others trees, the harvests, the battles, along with the creatures and characters that might have previously walked this land.
