Persephone
This painting is inspired by Persephone and a woman finding her voice. Persephone was a Greek Goddess, who caught the eye of Hades, God of the Underworld. He fell in love with her from afar and abducted her. The original story is told from the perspective of Persephone's mother, Demeter, and does not give much attention to the thoughts and feelings of Persephone herself. This painting tells the story from Persephone's point of view. Here Persephone is reclaiming her voice. This painting is part of a series on women in Greek mythology.

Each series, or body of work, is focused on a slightly different subject or theme. My goal is to make art that is empowering, uplifting and pretty.
