"ISIS"
(Acrylic on HP Watercolor paper)
by Jonathan Weber

"In the beginning there was Isis: Oldest of the Old, She was the Goddess from whom all Becoming Arose. She was the Great Lady, Mistress of the two Lands of Egypt, Mistress of Shelter, Mistress of Heaven, Mistress of the House of Life, Mistress of the word of God. She was the Unique. In all Her great and wonderful works She was a wiser magician and more excellent than any other God."
-Thebes, Egypt, Fourteenth Century BC

He currently produces portraits on commission and continues to add work to his "Goddess series", dedicated to revealing the empowered feminine archetype as a healing agent for a society abused by a dominant patriarchy.
