About the Artwork:
Rebirth. The Phoenix Harpy. Rise from the ashes and begin anew. Look forward, not back.
I made this piece with colored pencil, watercolor, and gouache. This is a continuation of my Nature Spirit Oracle series of illustrations featuring nymphs, fairies, goddesses, and other nature spirits. The focus of this series is an emotional interpretation of existing mythology, not a historical one. I take inspiration from mythology, but I also take inspiration from my own personal experience as a human. I began the series in 2020, and have experienced a lot of life change since then. This piece was a meditation on transformative change. The desolation of an ending and the resilience of existence. The spiritual journey of moving forward. – Madalyn McLeod
