Poulnabrone dolmen is a 5,000 year old portal tomb in the limestone Burren area of County Clare, Ireland. The dolmen consists of a massive flat capstone supported on several upright pillars, and would originally have been covered by a mound of earth. Archeological excavations found several traces of human remains at the burial site, which now stands as a stark reminder of an ancient civilisation. Looking back through the mists of time, who knows what ancient religious rites took place at this barren and windswept scene? Winner of the Heritage in Stone group challenge Stone Circles and Standing Stones.

This is my most recent historical-fantasy work. The “Prophecy” title pertains to the reference of a shift in global thinking whereby humankind will soon evolve to a new and elevated state of universal awareness. Within our lifetime we will witness the emergence of Compassion over Greed, in how the citizens of the World conduct business and their personal relationships. Intelligence will blossom with the embracing of psychic enlightenment and a significant progress will be made, in our understanding of additional dimensions that exist within our Natural World. Wild animals will be treated with reverence and all beings will live in a harmonious respect for each other. I look forward to this new Age of awakening… do you? A new World Vision we all can share in… which reminds me to tell you that all sales of this item benefit the great organization “World Vision”. Thank you for helping me to help them. ~ Skye

A new digital painting that shows Anubis preparing a pharaoh for the Afterlife. Various symbols from Egyptian mythology and culture are strategically placed within this colourful piece to reveal secret meanings. The work was created as a tribute to the great contribution this powerful and ancient culture has made to the World. ~ Skye “Anubis is the Greek name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in Egyptian mythology. In the ancient Egyptian language, Anubis is known as Inpu, (variously spelled Anupu). The oldest known mention of Anubis is in the Old Kingdom pyramid texts, where he is associated with the burial of the king. At this time, Anubis was the most important god of the Dead but he was replaced during the Middle Kingdom by Osiris.” (Info Source: Wikipedia)

We drove in to Guatemala, to Tikal, where the Mayan civilisation had 130 000 Mayans in this one area. Known just now is that the civilisation lived from around 700BC to about 650 AD. This is one of the 6 temples and many houses that are round the Grand Plaza. It is 47 m in height and has nine layers, which makes it stand out amongst the rest, but it is not the tallest at the Plaza as one temple is 70 m. The body of the leader Jasaw Chan K’awiil was found inside in a tomb. No one knows how or why the Mayans disappeared but there are many theories. The jaguar is the noted animal for Belize and Guatemala.

Inspired by my heritage, my concern, and a different point of view to that of the mainstream, dominant cultural group. The statue is located in the grounds of the SA Migration Museum. The land this is built upon, was once the traditional country of the Kaurna of Tandanya (ie. The indigenous people — Aborigines — of what is now known as the Adelaide plains, and the city of Adelaide). Tandanya translates to Red Kangaroo. (the “K” in Kaurna is pronounced as a “gh” with a slight roll on the “r”). ~ This piece will probably go down like a “lead balloon” but no matter. Thanks…
