Goddess Zodiac Signs
This lovely painting is in the Art Nouveau style. It depicts the twelve sun signs of the Zodiac. The symbols shown on the sun crystal ball are for each sign in the Zodiac. Delicate leaves, vines and flowers intertwine themselves throughout the watercolor and gouache painting.
The Art Nouveau style is characterized by the use of sinuous, graceful, curving lines, interlaced patterns, women, flowers, plants, and other motifs inspired by nature. Art Nouveau is one of my favorite art periods and I began experimenting with its rhythmic fluid lines, flowing design and the strength of its stylization in my own work.

Art Nouveau
Art Nouveau (French for 'new art') is an international style of art, architecture and design that peaked in popularity at the beginning of the 20th century (1880-1914) and is characterised by highly-stylised, flowing, curvilinear designs often incorporating floral and other plant-inspired motifs.
The name 'Art Nouveau' derived from the name of a shop in Paris, Maison de l'Art Nouveau, at the time run by Siegfried Bing, that showcased objects that followed this approach to design. The style introduced by Bing was not an immediate success in Paris but rapidly spread to Nancy and to Belgium (especially Brussels) where Victor Horta and Henry Van de Velde would make major contributions in the field of architecture and design.
In the United Kingdom Art Nouveau developed out of the Arts and Crafts Movement. The most important center in Britain was Glasgow with the creations of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
More localised terms for the phenomenon of self-consciously radical, somewhat mannered reformist chic that formed a prelude to 20th-century modernism include Jugendstil in Germany, Austria and many other countries where forward-looking artists and designers seceded from the mainstream salon exhibitions to exhibit on their own work in more congenial surroundings.
In Spain, the movement was centered in Barcelona and was known as modernisme, with the architect Antoni Gaudí as the most noteworthy practitioner. Art Nouveau was also a force in Eastern Europe, with the influence of Alfons Mucha in Prague and Moravia (part of the modern Czech Republic) and Latvian Romanticism (Riga, the capital of Latvia, is home to over 800 Art Nouveau buildings).
In Russia, the movement revolved around the art magazine Mir iskusstva ('World of Art'), which spawned the revolutionary Ballets Russes. In Italy, Stile Liberty was named for the London shop, Liberty & Co, which distributed modern design emanating from the Arts and Crafts movement, a sign both of the Art Nouveau's commercial aspect and the 'imported' character that it always retained in Italy.
The entrances to the Paris Métro designed by Hector Guimard in 1899 and 1900 are famous examples of Art Nouveau in Paris.

Printing Technique
High-resolution, digital inkjet printers are used to reproduce these giclee prints. The paper on which the painting was printed on, is watercolor museum, digital fine art paper, made of 100% cotton fibers that are lignin-free, acid-free and chlorine free. The inks used are pigment based giclee inks, which ensure that the prints can last over 125 years without noticeable fading.
About Giclee Prints
The life of a print depends upon several things, such as, what type of ink is used on the substrate (paper, canvas, or photo papers). Other important factor's in determining the life of your print is the environment in which you hang it in and what kind of lighting surrounds your print, for instance, florescence or natural lighting. All of these variables add to the life expectancy of your giclee prints.
All limited edition giclee's are hand signed, numbered, and titled by the artist.
