Earth & Sky: Landscapes & Inland Nature

Mahadevi ©2024, 14 x 21 watercolor on paper. This work is inspired from my travels near the Bighorn Mountains during an art residency in Dayton, Wyoming. The hills in the area are beautifully shaped and I began to conceive this work as an expression of love for this Mother Earth, as the female essence of all things.
