Artist Valerie Herron Blogs About Her Brigit Painting

Some months ago, artist Valerie Herron released onto the world a stunning image of Brigit and her mythos. (See my post "Brigit in Her Complexity and Beauty - Art by Valerie Herron" from 18 June 2019.)

Since that time she has had questions a-plenty on the different symbols, so at last she has produced a digital fiesta for those inquiring minds who want to know.

Aptly entitled Brigid, you may find the full post in her new blog ARS NYCTICORAX the art blog of Valerie Herron, by clicking on this link.

Brigit in Her Complexity and Beauty - Art by Valerie Herron

Valerie Herron just released into the world an awe-inspiring image of Brigit, one which encompasses so much it makes my heart swell. It moves me in a way no other Brigit art, however wonderful, has ever done. It is huge, what Valerie has expressed here.

Here is what she says about it on her Instagram post:

Brigid: Goddess of the flame of inspiration. Patron Saint of Ireland, the blacksmiths and the poets. She is the resplendent fire in the head of writers, painters, and luminaries. The living embodiment of the creative flow. This piece is about my relationship with creativity and creation.

Valerie is a Seattle based illustrator of the "mythological, the macabre, and the absurd." I encourage you to plumb the depths of her offerings.
