Here, the Madonna is seen in her guise as Great Mother, the healer of all that ails humankind. She clutches her sacred caduceus, wrapped around the holy cross. At the bottom of the page are the names of some of her many manifestations--Astarte, Ishtar and Isis. The crown of the Great Mother depicted in this digitally painted collage was constructed partly from jukebox 'jewels' given to me by an old friend whose family was in the business of making jukeboxes at one time. I scanned the jewels into the computer along with holy cards from my husband's childhood Missal, a piece of palm like that distributed at a Palm Sunday Mass, and bits of colored paper.  I created this piece as a digital 'collage' using PhotoShop and painted the piece using a Wacom stylus and Painter. Mixed Madonna won an award from the software company which creates the Painter software used by digital artists.  Mixed Madonna is being offered in a signed, limited edition of 250 prints on 11" x 8.5" semi gloss photo paper. Here to the right, is a detailed closeup. Contact me if you want a print on matte paper, instead.
