Resilience Goddess


This goddess has been in the works for several months now. She is structured after a Tibetan Bodhisattva but I substituted a phoenix -a classic resilience symbol- as her mount. She is definitely in the Yidem school of goddesses.

Ume, hepatica, bamboo, and willow are just a few of her plant symbols.

The stain glass pattern started out as an organic development of the watercolor but also plays quite well into some of my personal imagery/symbols for strength.

There are a lot of iridescent highlights on this one that sadly won't be visible in the digital images.
