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.

This 8” x 10” weaving in a handmade frame is “Brigid’s Loom”. It is pasticcio of fibers, yarn, ribbon, and handmade papers woven through wires colored with alcohol inks and then twisted when taken off the loom. The frame is a foamcore piece gessoed, layered with molding paste, handmade paper, acrylic paints, and embellished with small beads. It is part of a series of about 20 pieces in a similar vein.

Belisama rises from flames and reaches to the blue sky. It’s a 6” x 12” canvas of acrylic paint, handmade, and commerical papers collaged with gel medium. From my goddess series, Belisama or “Summer Bright” was a goddess of the ancient Celts. She was a goddess of fire, forge, and crafts. There is evidence that she is related to the Roman goddess Minerva, which makes sense if you consider the interrelatedness of cultures during the expansion of the ancient Roman Empire into Gaul and Britain.
