Bliain na nAmhrán

Christina O Donovan Illustration Books 'Bliain na nAmhrán'

Bliain na nAmhrán (Year of Song) written by Tadhg Mac Dhonnagaín,
is a beautiful hard-backed collection of Irish-language songs of the seasons. Featuring the illustrations by
four acclaimed illustrators:
Tarsila Krüse, Jennifer Farley, Christina O'Donovan and Brian Fitzgerald.


My season was 'Spring' for which I created 6 interior spreads.

I was thrilled that the collaboration with the fantastic other artists went on to win a string of book awards.
