Airmid was created in honor of one of my grandmothers. I used a vintage photo of her, taken when she was 18. She was sitting in bright sunlight, wearing a dark colored dress with a sailor collar. I loved the high contrast of her face and how she is looking down, so I cropped her head and printed it on paper we made from cornhusks. Also included in this piece is potpourri, acrylic paint, and a wand constructed of a branch, raffia, wire, and glass beads and gems. From my Goddess series, Airmid is the Celtic goddess of herbal healing, and she stood guard over the Well of Slaine in Ireland. She is said to live in the mountains of Ireland yet today, healing faeries and humans who need her help. Water is her element.

Follow your bliss. / If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track / that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. / When you can see that, you begin to meet people / who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. / I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, / and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be. / If you follow your bliss, / doors will open for you that wouldn’t have opened for anyone else. ~Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) Mixed media collage on cavas.
