Jessica Galbreth: From Dark Art to True Light

Good Morning! While today's post is not about Celtic Paganism strictly, it's a topic that I've noticed popping up all over Facebook as of late.

Jessica Galbreth was a famous "fantasy" artist known throughout many different circles. While she never expressed that her work was pagan, you can no doubt find it scattered throughout various pagan blogs across the internet.

However, this year, her art took a 180. Gone forever are the "dark" images of faeries, goddesses and women. Instead angels, biblical quotes, and warriors of God have taken their place. In the interview she did for her piece on he TV show "The 700 Club" she talks about he previous work as a "demonic possession" and considers it "satanic". She describes how this sudden change came about in the interview below.

What do you think? Do you own any of her artwork or figurines? Do you feel differently towards her or her work since her acceptance of Jesus?

If you're interested in what she's working on currently, her new art website is located at: www.vintageangel.com . Click below to watch the television interview she did for The 700 Club.

Another midlife crisis, another woman caving to self-doubt and pressure from opportunistic religionists, another talent compromised. The only thing sadder than a censored artist is an artist who censors herself. Those "dark" paintings were erotic, mysterious, empowered women; eternalized by myth. Well, I guess we can't be having any of that, or the classical artwork in museums. Tragic.
