MamaBlogger365 - Mother as Icon by Aiya Art

The mother icon has been represented throughout history as a source of magic, healing and power, regardless of the fact that recorded history has little to say about the role of mother. Folklore and oral traditions speak of women as leaders, artists, shamans and a force that changes cultures.

To celebrate the mothers of the past, I present to you a collection of encaustic paintings inspired by icon throughout the ages. Click here to view the full exhibit online.
