myths & tales:
    This is a piece from my 2d Foundations class which I took my first semester of my freshman year of college. The assignment was to illustrate the Greek myth of Pandora. This figure is actually the central panel in a triptych, a unifying image of feminine Divinity to link the stories of Pandora and Eve. Personally, I liked this image the best, but perhaps one day I'll scan in the other sections.
    I cannot determine which Goddess this happens to be though. She is definately one with celestial associations, and She does not strike me as perpetually serene, in fact She comes across to me as quite raw and chaotic. A muse of poets and perhaps of madmen as well....Any ideas as to who She might be?
