Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. Louisa May Alcott

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.
