The new DRAWDA mural celebrates the ancient deity, The Cailleach, the divine sorceress and mother goddess associated with the creation of the landscape and ancient monuments. As part of the second phase of DRAWDA, Drogheda’s iconic Urban Art Trail, the world-renowned Italian urban painter Vera Bugatti created this incredible work on the YGH building on Dominic Street.

Amergin by AERO (Drogheda Port Wall)

AERO has produced the story of Ireland’s famous bard, poet and judge of the Milesians, Amergin. While under attack from the Tuatha Dé Danann, Amergin miraculously calmed the sea by chanting a poem, before setting foot safely on land, near Drogheda.

Salmon of Knowledge by Ciarán Dunlevy (Dyer Street)

They say a picture can say a thousand words and we hope that the newly commissioned Salmon of Knowledge mural on the Fitzwilliam Court building will create a thousand conversations and a deeper understanding of our local heritage.

Étaín by Nina Valkhoff (Meat Market Lane)

Nina Valkhoff has taken inspiration from the story of Étaín, the heroine of Tochmarc Étaíne, one of the oldest and richest stories of our Mythological Cycle for her mural on the side of Penney's building, West St.

Boann by Lula Goce (Abbey Lane)

Lula Goce has depicted the ancient story of Boann. Boann was the goddess of the Boyne, who's name was given to the river after an erupting well carried her to the sea, where she fatefully drowned.

The Morrígan by This Is Friz (Patrick Street)

FRIZ’ work leans towards presenting powerful female characters and explores our connection with the natural world, resulting in the perfect match as she has been tasked with representing The Morrígan. The Morrígan is a Triple Goddess. She is sometimes portrayed as one of a triune of female war deities and is seen to psychologically effect armies and warriors with her shapeshifting abilities!

Russ was tasked with presenting the leader of the Tuatha Dé Danann, Dagda. Dagda reigned as king for 80 years. One of his many names, Deirgderc, translates as 'red eye', leading scholars to identify Dagda as an early solar deity.
