Mrigashira is from a series of 27 images I created for an astrology software company to represent the 27 nakshatras. Nakshatras, or "lunar mansions", are a Vedic zodiac system based on the movement of the moon. Each has its own special properties and qualities not unlike the Western solar zodiac of 12 signs, which most people are familiar with.Mrigashira is represented by a human-antelope hybrid standing on the moon holding a magical vessel. The ethereal forms and pastel colors surrounding the figure as well as the figure itself convey the elusive and transformational nature of this nakshatra. Close text

Ashlesha is another piece from the nakshatra series see Nakshatra 5- mrigashira. These pieces are executed in thick layers of watercolor crayon, detailed in metallic acrylic paint, on watercolor paper.The two intertwining serpents in the foreground relate to the serpentine nature of Ashlesha, which literally translates to "embracing, entwining". They are also an ancient symbol of healing and medicine, which are still seen today as a symbol of the medical profession.The veiled figure in the background relates to the hidden, mysterious quality of Ashlesha, which can be likened to the character of the Hermit in Tarot .
