ART EXHIBIT – RAVEN LIFE

Raven Life – Rosemary Dzus

Regardless of the speculations, ravens are fascinating creatures and have been appearing in mythology and folklore for centuries, including the indigenous cultures of Scandinavia, ancient Ireland, and Wales, North America, and Siberia. In many cultures, the common raven has been revered as a spiritual figure or godlike creature. In others, the raven has become a figure of doom.

Rosemary has been an admirer of ravens for a number of years and sees them as creatures of mystery rather than as harbingers of doom. They seem to be keen observers of their surroundings, and appear to know much more than they are able or willing to share. Her fascination with these birds has resulted in a series of larger-than-life-size acrylic paintings of ravens engaged in various activities and attitudes.
