Steeped in Story

Ireland Paintings By Dawn Richerson

Steeped in Story: Slieve League. The lion sleeps tonight and pink angels guard the sacred treasure of this land whose cliffs rise from the ancient sea that remembers all things. The steep, sheer cliffs at Slieve League dropped into the bluest sea with an unexpected ferocity. The peril was unmistakable; so, too, was the call of the raven mother and the sphinx-like guardian to heed now the riddled past and open our hearts to a truth hidden in plain sight, unlocking the promise of the future. This County Donegal painting of Slieve League is from the Soul of Ireland Collection by Virginia artist Dawn Richerson, who found joy and wonder in the heart of the Emerald Isle where she lived for three years. What does your soul remember? What story of life is alive inside of you?
