Athena is the goddess of war, courage, wisdom, law and justice and the arts and crafts. There is a myth about how she fought Poseidon to become ruler of Athens. She won the battle and that is why Athens or Athena is named after her. I was inspired by her beauty, determination and courage. She was known to be very cunning in battle and I found the need for her guidance in my own personal battles as well as inspiration to battle on as an artist.

Athena is handbuilt, electric fired and wall-mounted.
