Radhairc Iorrais
"Tá an taispeántas seo bunaithe ar radharcanna Iorrais. Tógadh in Iorras mé, áit deas, iargúltas le radharcanna álainn agus oidhreacht láidir.
An rud is fearr liom faoi Iorras ná an fharraige agus an aimsir, athraíonn an aimsir go minic agus go tapaidh i rith an lae, agus gach uair a
athraíonn an aimsir tagann dath difriúl ar an bhfarraige, an spéir agus na hoileáin, sin an rud a dhéanaim iarracha léiriú i mo phictiúir."

An Báthadh Mór/ The Big Drowning.
Seo véarsa d’amhrán a scríobh Riocard Bairéad, ceann de na filí is cáiliúla as Iorras. Is amhrán faoi oíche a tharla stoirm mhór i 1937 é seo. Cailleadh deichniúr fir as Inis Gé an lá sin. Tar éis na stoirme d’fhág muintir Inis Gé an tOileán agus bhog siad go dtí an mórthír.
The first verse of the song "An Báthadh Mór" which was written by local famous poet Riocard Bairéad. The song is about a storm in 1937 when 10 men from the Iniskea islands were drowned , shortly afterwards the islanders left the island to settle on the mainland.
