About the Item
Artist Comments
Inspired by pre-Christian Irish mythology, this piece depicts the Morrigan, a deity associated with war, fate and sovereignty. Often described as a trio of goddesses, the Morrigan was renowned for her ability to strike fear in her opponents and to hold wayward leaders accountable. Associated with the crow, known as Badb in Irish mythology, Sumner chose to illustrate this imposing figure transforming into a bird. "The Morrigan stands the test of time as a powerful reminder of female strength," says Sumner.

The fiery orange hues against the blue and green accents give the composition warmth and brilliance.

Her work often crosses into abstraction, capturing her feelings towards nature and painting it as its own entity. “The trees, like people, show different faces,†adds Naoko.
