One of my favorite myths is Raven bringing fire to his people. This is a part of my Flaming Chalice series, exploring light and its transformative power. In this piece, Raven soars above a serene landscape, carrying a beacon of hope. What speaks to you here?

The Sisterhood 🧙‍♀️🪄 Oil on canvas 2024

This piece is inspired by this image that caught my eye whilst browsing on Pinterest. These hooded cloaks were adorned by women on the volcanic Azores Islands , Portugal up until the 1930s.

The traditional attire had variations across the islands. The large thick wool outfits were held up with wale bone and were dyed with Isatis tinctoria, a yellow-flowered plant part of the Cabbage family, which produced a rich blue hue. I love that this is a feature that you would never consider when glancing at the black and white photos remaining today…

According to one source “Women wore them for modesty and protection from the elements, and over time it became a fashion statement and status symbol”.

I love how the images translate a sense of the uncanny and macabre. In some ways, these heavy and burdensome costumes translate as a symbol of oppression. Whilst they are tied to religious attitudes and transitional/ cultural expectations of women at the time, I like to imagine that women used their hoods for ulterior motives… gossiping, or in other words, forming alliances and sisterHOODS.

The piece blossomed into a narrative around finding oneself as part of a sisterhood, and how challenging it can be to have to make choices around when it helps to stay in your pack, or when it is best to walk alone. This is meant in both a literal and spiritual manner.

I’d love to hear your interpretations!!!

Oil pastels on my sketchbook

I am painting my jeans with spreading branches of flowers. I also am making the branches look like veins, because I read in a Starhawk's book that there is a similarity, and I love those beautiful similarities:)) not a full pagan yet but the poetry of it is seeping through my art.

Hello everyone I recently came up with a few Norse /pagan designs to laser engrave into coaster. I would love to hear your opinions on the designs. In the photo Is a few of the designs I haven't made them all just yet. (The designs are all paid for designs that I have merged into single designs or used outright my personal drawings arnt quite at that level yet.)

I've been working on the art for this deck for a year now. There are 44 cards total, and I only have nine to finish. Here is a sample of some of the art for the cards. I've done all the art in Procreate with the final details in Illustrator.
