#arohirohi

MyPatreon is a year old! Look at all the Goddesses I’ve painted in the past year. To my patrons: thank you so much; your encouragement and support really mean a lot to me!

New art of Ārohirohi, the Maori Goddess of mirages, done as the November Goddess by Request over on my Patreon. She’s in colored India inks like the little Greek Goddess paintings.

Ārohirohi is also a creator Goddess Who made the first woman, Mārikoriko (Whose name means ‘Twilight’). Her husband is the Sun God.

I have put Her in traditional Maori clothing and jewelry; She has an authentic tattoo on Her chin, and Her hair is in waves like the atmospheric distortions caused by heat. Behind Her is the Fata Morgana, a mirage or illusion that makes objects below the horizon such as ships or coastlines appear to be above it.
