“The Priestess”

Original Art by Mia Araujo

“The Priestess”

29.25” x 22” Graphite on paper.

Matted and framed to 35.5” x 28.”

A rare original drawing from my gallery days–this was the preparatory drawing for my acrylic painting of the same name, created in 2010. This is my take on “The Priestess” tarot card. The nocturnal animals and sleeping figures surrounding her symbolize seeing into the depths of your own psyche and the inner awakening that comes from self-knowledge. All kinds of hidden imagery in this one, like St. George and the Dragon, Le Spectre de la Rose, and the Great Sphinx. The drawing comes beautifully matted and framed in white.
