| SUE SILVA LITERATAROT L'IMPERATRICE to prepare for a lifetime of sacrifice & selfless giving as mothers. In my depiction of the book, I have painted Dinah as a compassionate Empress, lovingly watching over her beloved lands. She wears a royal purple headpiece adorned with silver stars and a lapis necklace. The tent suggests the birth/rebirth process of letting go and renewal. The butterfly, transformation. The dolphin, spiritual connection with Earth and space. The triple pyramids from the era in the story (also connected to Isis, Goddess of heaven). The five pointed wildflower, the pentacle of nature which grew in the region at that time. The wheat in her hair, abundance. The turtle, the symbol of Gaia in numerous traditions. The waterfall and merging of the water and blood and earth to prepare the soil for the planting of the crops. Bio (CV) Sue Silva is a water based, multi media, expressive and visionary artist specializing in experimental techniques and is completely self taught.
