Mystical and ancient goddesses have graced our literature, inspired much of our music and existed at some point during time. What better way to celebrate and embrace women than with color and whimsy, fantasy and desire?
The Art of Emily Balivet does just that. Emily has been a creative individual for most of her life and decided to make a living from her art at the early age of 17. Originally from Alaska, finding something interesting to do indoors for extended periods of time was a necessary survival skill and painting was her top choice.
Music, literature, and great works of art are her inspiration. In addition, Emily's own paintings drive her to create more. She often closes her eyes at night and envisions herself painting. The visions blow her away and keeps her going probably more than anything else.
I, myself, am a huge fan of mythology and ancient religions. When I found Emily's art, I was blown away by her talent. I fell in love with the Red Goddess and Emily was kind enough to send me this print to decorate my walls.
And now Emily would like to blow one of you away by giving one of you the 8x10 print of your choice from her shop.

I personally like Menstrual Night 8x10 Print Mythological Goddess Art, for some reason I'm having problems correcting my menstrual cycle, so I definitely believe this wonderful creation will help me make it through.

The "Twilight Flight" print with the lady riding the robin is perfect for a girl's room , to inspire us with a story each day, where would the amazing robin take the lady and what would they see?...
Alaska one day, perhaps...how delightful and fun!

I found her shop on Etsy a while ago when I was looking for other shops from VT! I loved her work immediately, and added a few things to my favorites. It's all VERY beautiful.
'Mystic Sisters' would be PERFECT to give to my sister as a gift...we're even both brunettes. :)
But 'Vanity' is probably my favorite, I haven't forgotten that one since I first saw it.

I love so many of her prints it's HARD trying to pick just one! I think my favorite might be the Psychic Fortunes Gypsy Circus Poster print!
Thanks for the giveaway :)
I am really blown away by this artist's work! WOW! I'm drawn to many, many, many of the pieces and would be very hard-pressed to pick just one. So far, I really like Mother of Pearl, Sea Sisters and The Good Omen. Apparently, I enjoy the water scenes. LOL Guess I will have to go take another look! Thanks for sharing this contest!

Thanks for this giveaway.
I love Twelve Women with Birds but I think Hecate - Goddess of the Crossroads is my favourite.

molly laurel at mac dot com
I like the The Messenger - 5x7 Blank Greeting Card
I picked the Feather Goddess
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
I recently purchased Hecate: Goddess of the Crossroads but I also love Witch's Brew.
zabet17@hotmail.com
I think my favorite, although it was really hard to choose just one, would have to be E is for Elephant.
gr8kidsgr8fam at yahoo dot com
So many cool prints, I love the Marvelous Amusements. I also really like the Barley Witch
I was first drawn to Emily's work when I saw the patterned dresses in "Twelve Women with Birds." All her works speak to me, so it's hard to choose only one. But I'd have to say my favorite has always been "Wild Gypsy Air." Something about the fiddle and the tendrils of the girl's hair reminds me of Celtic music and lively jigs.
I love the S is for Sunrise print-so uplisting!
