Venus Aphrodite in her celestial realm...

A digital alchemy collage by Artist Shelley Sophia Crawford.

The painting used in this collage is called: Venus of Urbino by Tiziano

“Both the planet Venus and the rose were sacred to the ancient goddesses of old. Isis, Inanna, Ishtar were said to have created the rose giving it shape and form. And hidden within its petals, the goddesses placed their powers over life, death, rebirth, regeneration. “  Quote by Danielle 

I made this collage in honor of the royal sensuous beauty of the feminine body & consciousness which has its roots in the stars, and blossoms in many manifestations of the earth mother. Every woman carries the spark of this divine beauty way within her beingness.  Our bodies are sacred expressions of the divine.

I want to honor & celebrate the bold , wild, tender, wise reality of the feminine soul and body.
