Portraits Of The Goddess

About the Series

Portraits of the Goddess is a series of colored pencil originals by mythic artist Jessica Galbreth.  Done in a sensitive, soft style, this body of work is meant to honor the myths, legends and beliefs surrounding the goddesses of world mythology.  Each portrait is rich with the symbols associated with each deity.  From Celtic to Greek, and Egyptian to Norse, Jessica continues to explore the many aspects of the goddess with this body of work.

Portraits of the Goddess is an ongoing series, with new goddesses added often.  Collectors may purchase fine art giclee prints here on our web site.  Retailers may purchase wholesale also for galleries and stores worldwide.  Below, please read a few thoughts from Jessica on her process...

"Before I set out to create a new portrait, I research the goddess I'm planning to portray heavily.  Using my library of books, the internet and other sources, I study both the well known and lesser known aspects of each deity.  Slowly, I begin to get a vision in my mind of how I think she would appear.  While I know my vision won't exactly match others visions of the goddess, it makes me happy to hear from collectors and fans that they enjoy my portrayals of their most beloved goddesses.

Unlike some of my other work, the style I work in for this series is soft, even simplistic, with a focus on highlights and soft hues.  I focus on the face, letting the beauty of that goddess speak for itself without heavy background detail.  I also love to sneak in various symbols associated with that deity.

I plan to add many more goddess portrayals to this series in the future.  I have a long list of goddesses I plan to depict, but also love to hear directly from my fans and collectors, allowing them to suggest goddesses for me to consider adding to the line up.  I hope this web site will serve as a great resource and visual guide for those studying the goddesses of world mythology."
