About Lilith:
Lilith is the primordial goddess of feminine magick. There are numerous tales about her in Jewish Mythology, where she has both good and bad roles. Today many women look to her to find their own power, the ability to survive in the wilderness and choose their own destiny apart from men.
About The Artist:
Beth Hansen, painter of faery and myth, is emerging as one of today’s premier visionary artists. Working out of her studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Beth’s work is increasingly sought out by collectors of fantasy art from all over the world. Born on June 17th 1966, Beth showed an early interest in art which was encouraged by her mother, who was an avid hobby painter, and at the age of seven she began painting in oils with her mother’s guidance. Beth continued to draw and occasionally paint throughout her childhood and teen years, the ease and portability of graphite pencil and sketchbook making that her favorite media for many years. Subjects often included animals and portraits, but when she started reading fantasy literature, dragons and hobbits started appearing in her sketchbook. Working in layers to achieve luminous skin tones and glowing light effects, she creates magical works inspired by faery lore and mythology.
Artist Statement:
“Nothing inspires me more than time spent in nature. Feeling the wind in my hair and listening to the leaves rustling in the trees makes me long for my walking stick, and off I go on another journey of wonder and delight. I find additional insights from my studies of mythology and faery lore, and they find their way into my paintings enriching each with story.”
