Baby Athena-canvas print

One of a kind ready to hang canvas print embellished with spray paint and watercolor.

Baby Athena-guardian of cities, protector of warriors and heroes, keeper of wisdom, weaving and peace. Patroness of artisans and craftsmen. Inventor of the chariot and teacher of shipbuilding. Bright eyed and accompanied by an owl, she is also a philosopher, and known for her moral and military superiority, virtue and skill. She is associated with olives and snakes-symbols of knowledge and transformation. She is also a protector of the natural world and the patroness of justice. This canvas has many of her symbols, including an Austin skyline.
Athena was born an adult and fully armored warrior, chopped out of Zeus’s thigh. She was a Motherless Goddess, her Mother having been swallowed by Zeus. This painting is re telling of the original story, giving her the childhood she never had. In her hands she holds the cards of fate-a message that we can re frame our stories and co create our realities, no matter what our given origin story.
