The goddess series was painted throughout 2025-2026, inspired by artifacts of ancient matriarchal cultures, researched and referenced by archaeologist and anthropologist Marija Gimbutas and her contemporaries. I was reading the book The Great Cosmic Mother, which referenced Gimbutas often, and happened to find a textbook written by Gimbutas at a thrift store. I loved studying and painting these ancient objects. Originally small, portable, and personal, these power objects are enduring reminders of the earth’s matriarchal roots.
A personal favorite! Modeled after a goddess figure from the Sesklo culture (Neolithic Europe) - Nicea c. 5800 - 5600 B.C.
9×12” acrylic on purple paper. Painted in 2025.
Ships flat.
