Celtic Mythology and Sacred Icons
The Art of Rita
Stynes Strow
"In the inspired tradition of the
illuminated manuscript, celtic artist Rita Stynes Strow recreates, sacred,
spiritual, and mythical tales in her stunning iconic works."
Welcome to my Celtic Art website. I am an Irish born artist
residing in the Boston area. I have spent many years painting
Sacred Icons and Celtic Myths, legends and colorful characters
from Irish history.
My inspiration is mainly from the Bible; the epic poem, the Táin; legends and historical
events from the history of the
Celts. I intertwine Celtic design in the paintings which are
executed in oils.
Once the principles of Celtic designs are mastered, there are
endless possibilities for creative innovation. I am always
exploring these possibilities, for I find Celtic design has a
strength and mystery not readily found elsewhere. I especially
like to enhance biblical and mythological themes with the infinite variations of Celtic knotwork interlacing.
