Coventina is an ancient water goddess, a spring found along Hadrian's wall in the north east of England is named after her.
I felt called to create her image in an older woman who was a healer. Alongside her is her water dragon who helps to transform any negativity. I liked the idea of her being in the dark womb of the earth transforming and nurturing life.
Text reads: drowning in pain and mystery illness, Coventina and her water dragon rise up to give me back my power.
