Mariah Hawk's photostream

I paint figures that are the Ladies in subterranean stillness, waiting for all that is felt, not yet expressed.
I follow inspiration on whatever path my journey may unfold, using remnants from long forgotten history, as well as what is new.
Among my mediums are faded love letters, paint, photos, leather, old sheet music once played and enjoyed - now left quiet. I am patching, piecing partially obscured lives together and resurrecting their music.
The individual faces and figures on my enchanted journals/boxes/magick mirrors/frames are sculpted out of clay, bronzed over and combined with my handmade paper along with a natural sea foam substance I sculpt for exclusively unique pieces that are very durable and mystically Tolkienesque.
I hand mold the books using quality leather for an intimate, rich creamy texture. All of the paintings and collages inside each object are completely original. You will not find these elsewhere, except perhaps in Middle Earth.

My processes also include exotic potion bottles, Archetypes, Art dolls, Wall hangings, Sculptures, Talisman pouches, and good luck fetishes.
I have been involved with oils and watercolors for decades, mainly figurative painting. But have been experimenting with sculpture for the last several years.
I attended art School in San Francisco. Am a member of the Oregon society of Artists, have exhibited at various art shows and galleries in San Francisco, Oregon, Washington as well as Sedona, AZ, I am endorsed by the world famous watercolor artist & teacher, Arne Westerman.

I love sunny days, as well as thunder/lightening storms and walking in the deep woods after a fresh rain - preferably with my sweetie, Mark. He's absolutely amazing. But I also enjoy time alone. I'm a bit eccentric and eclectic and detest arrogance, snobbishness, bullies.
