"In the inspired tradition of the
illuminated manuscript, celtic artist Rita Stynes Strow recreates, sacred,
spiritual, and mythical tales in her stunning iconic works."
Welcome to my Celtic Art website. I am an Irish born artist
residing in the Boston area. I have spent many years painting
Sacred Icons and Celtic Myths, legends and colorful characters
from Irish history.
My inspiration is mainly from the Bible; the epic poem, the Táin; legends and historical
events from the history of the
Celts. I intertwine Celtic design in the paintings which are
executed in oils.
Once the principles of Celtic designs are mastered, there are
endless possibilities for creative innovation. I am always
exploring these possibilities, for I find Celtic design has a
strength and mystery not readily found elsewhere. I especially
like to enhance biblical and mythological themes with the infinite variations of Celtic knotwork interlacing.
