This painting is inspired by a Celtic goddess revered for her association with the earth and fertility. Her green eyes symbolize nature, while her red lips represent vitality and passion, honouring the cyclical nature of life and the nurturing essence of the earth. She is set against a vibrant background resembling a medieval stained glass window. The use of lost and found edges, broken lines, and partially unfinished areas encourages perceptual completion in the mind's eye. The timeless beauty of the classical form is combined with the dynamic energy of pop art, inviting a dialogue between the past and the present.

It is an oil and acrylic on stretched canvas, finished with black edges and a gloss varnish. It is signed and ready to hang, inviting viewers to connect with the past in a celebration of cultural diversity and ancestral heritage.

In the studio, vibrant explorations of form and memory come to life. An Australian artist with Irish ancestry, Glenn draws on Celtic mythology and the decorative language of Pop Art to create figurative works that engage the timeless allure of the female nude as a symbol of life-force and sexuality. His paintings balance sensual vitality with mythic resonance, revealing beauty as something discovered, not invented; embodied, not schematic. He has twice won the Bundaberg City Council Art Award and has been a finalist in several national art awards. His works are held in private, public, and corporate collections in Australia and internationally.
