Bodice Of The Goddess

It is the interaction of Goddess affections and jealousies, in play with Earth, water and the human world that puts the viewer as witness to the radical weather phenomena unveiling before their eyes. In my interpretation, River Goddess lore has us believe that it is temperamental female whims responsible, sometimes peaceful or fun loving and sometimes angry or lustful, for the constantly changing waves and sudden and glorious storms that brew over the Hudson. What we as humans perceive is not the true intentions of the Goddesses, for Goddesses do as they please and play with all the elements as mere toys just for their own pleasures.
In my newest series of mixed media paintings “Bodice Of The Goddess- the Secret Life of the Hudson River”, I give liberal license to the stories behind the histories, myths and legends of the Hudson River exploring the playful and vengeful sides of the River Goddesses of the Hudson.
