Lady Bitterwind's Artwork

Correllian Arch Priestess Lady Bitterwind is well known as an artist in the Correllian and Witch School communities, and in the Vermilion County area of Illinois. Here are some examples of her work.

​Lady Bitterwind's artwork is created from re-used and recycled items of all types, as well as newly sculpted, painted, or crafted pieces, expressing her belief in the importance of recycling.

To facilitate this, Lady Bitterwind acquires items of all sorts to incorporate into her work.

Each artwork includes a feather, glass or metal item, shell, and a bit of real or faux fur, to represent the four Elements.  

The fur used in Lady Bitterwind's pieces is recycled from old jackets, hats, or rugs.

The work features a broken statue of a Meso-American Deity together with a number of other elements and illustrates the idea that ideas of Divinity are based upon human understanding, and can become outmoded as we grow if we allow them to become limiting rather than allowing them to grow with us.

Behind the altar is Lady Bitterwind's "Big Wheels Turning" which portrays the cycles of existence as a series of interconnected wheels, with the idea that the balance between these wheels is what maintains existence as we know it.
