"Illuminated Mind"
I painted this senior year. I was the only project that I got 100% on. My teacher was a royal bitch and we didn't get along at all (understatement of the century!) She gave me so much crap about this project because I found a way to circumvent her criteria. Long story short: the bitch owed me the A. Nowthen... on to it's meaning...
This piece is a combination of my spiritual beliefs and myself. The pentagram with it's five points, being a Wiccan symbol, signifies the four elements (Earth, Air, Fire, and Water) and Spirit (both my own and that of The Devine Mother) The detail is done in silver because it's one of my favorite colors and pretty much the only metal I'll wear. The A symbolizes me, and is filled with Celtic knotwork because I have a tad of Irish in me.. and it's just plain sweet. It was very complicated to get even... a lot of stress on this one... but it was worth it.
