Artemis

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Artemis is the goddess of the hunt, wilderness, wild animals, nature, vegetation, childbirth, care of children, and chastity. She is the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. Artemis is often depicted with a bow and arrows, symbolizing her role as a huntress. She was widely venerated across ancient Greece, with her most famous cult site being the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.  

Steven Lovatt’s artwork “Artemis” intricately celebrates the female form by depicting the Greek goddess as a formation of tree branches, reflecting her association with nature and the wilderness.
