This page is dedicated to the Goddess as an artistic form. She is the Bright Maiden of the new moon, the Dark Maiden of the waning crescent, The Mother of the full moon, and the Crone of the dark moon.   Below you will find a table of all of my Goddess paintings and sculptures.

If you are interested in having a sculpture made for you, contact me at the above email address.  Any sculpture I make will only be similar to the ones shown here, as I do not use molds, and each one is hand made (and inspired).  Contact me if you are interested in having a sculpture similar to one of the ones featured below.

Clay Sculptures - What a joy it was to create these sculptures.   I made all of these around 10 years ago, as I was beginning my journey into the heart of the cave, the womb of the mother.  She rewarded me with these wonderful pieces.  I have them all over my house.  You know where you are when you enter my realm  To see a larger picture, just click on the image.

The Watcher and the Dreamer. In ancient times a priestess would go deep into the cave and dream for you.  This was a time-honored form of divination. My son wanted me to take a photo of the group of the Watcher, the Dreamer and the Supplicant. The Supplicant.  This Priestess calls upon the great Goddess to add power to her circle.  She is not beneath the Goddess, she is the Goddess.

Many ancient Goddess were associated with the snake.   This rather large (~20") sculpture is my Snake goddess.  She is ample and powerful.  Her snake body is her lower half, it coils back up and lays across her left shoulder. My son also wanted a grouping of two of my 6 small goddesses, the Sleeper, and the Snake Goddess. Nice isn't it! This group represents the Goddess in her forms of woman hood, from the child to the crone.  The first Goddess to be sculpted was the pregnant one.  Each of these figures were made by my hands, but I can assure you they formed themselves, my hands were merely their instruments.

 

Acrylic Paintings - I really found my genre, when I started creating imagery of the Goddess.  As I paint I move deep inside myself, and call upon talents and forms long buried, but still quite strong.  The more I create, the more I come to realize that we need not seek divinity outside ourselves, it lives dormant inside us, waiting for us to seek it out.

Air is breath, wind, sound, speech. Hold your athame, and call upon Iris, to witness your circle. Fire is energy, movement, will, power. Light your candles, burn the incense and call upon Pele. Water is emotion, passion, life-source and love.  Hold your chalice filled with rain water, and call upon Yemaya.
earth.jpg (55805 bytes) weaver.jpg (41567 bytes) moondance.jpg (36571 bytes)
Earth is endurance, matter, the Mother. Place your pentacle on the alter, your living plant, and call upon Gaia. Weaver - we are the spinners and the weavers, and Life is the tapestry that we create. MoonDancer - She dances naked under the light of the full moon.  Celebrating her woman hood and calling the Goddess.
