monotype with chine collé, 9"x12"

Tara is the name of the Goddess Mother Earth, known from India to Ireland. An ancient festival held annually in Athens was named after her, Taramata (Mother Tara). The festival was nicknamed “the Rioting” because of it’s wild customs. In Buddhist and Hindu traditions she embodies many of the qualities of the feminine principle. She engenders, nourishes, smiles at the vitality of creation, and has sympathy for all beings as a mother does for her children.

Walking in the Rain

Walking in the Rain

Paper collage on watercolor paper 4"x 4"

This is a very recent collage, the first in a series of small collages on paper.

It is inspired by the rain that is turning this part of the world a vivid green. It is also inspired by the many people whose blogs I visit that create an artwork a day. I admire their dedication.

This collage is for sale here.
