Portrait of the River Goddess

Deborah Carlson, adult

Cleveland, Ohio USA

Editors Note: Deborah teaches fiber arts at the Cleveland School of the Arts. She approached the project by visiting the Cuyahoga river in a pristine area.

She photographed the river many times with a digital camera manipulating the shots until she could sheen an image that reminded her of a guardian spirit. She also studied the river mythology of the world to inform her painting.
