La Siren

This bowl is a painting under glass and then embellished with glass gems and mirrors both inside and out.

The image is of the lwa La Siren from Haitian voudon tradition. She was created for the Four Elements swap at BPAL.org representing the element of water.

Creating her was a great experience. I tried to meld my personal style with inspiration from a wonderful book, The Art of Haitian Voudou.
