| About the Artist - Janet Hess |
 My love of art and the desire to be a better artist started my relationship with the Goddess. I planned to draw about a dozen women with birds from different cultures.
For years I have enjoyed the study of religion and history. The Goddess art brought it all together.
To me the feminine divine is such a deep mystery because so many of the early cultures who worshipped her did not record their beliefs. She is hard to find at times.
I call my Goddesses Lady-Birds since I add a bird to each. I try to do several from each culture I study. Taking one culture at a time, gives me the opportunity to deeply study the people and their beliefs.
I’ve learned to see the Goddess as a part of all women and creating images of her in her many forms has brought me great pleasure.
I want my Goddess art to celebrate women.
