Sekhmet by Love Hannington in London
Sekhmet
'Sekhmet', the Egyptian Goddess of War. She reminds me that righteous anger is sacred to encourage change for the better and to relinquish the self-minimalisation of Black Anger (see: "Angry Black Woman").
Sekhmet was an ancient Egyptian goddess of war and healing. She was often depicted as a powerful lioness or a woman with the head of a lioness.
Sekhmet was associated with the sun and was seen as a protector of Ma’at, the goddess of truth, justice, and harmony.
The ancient Egyptians believed that Sekhmet had the power to bring disease and destruction to those who went against her will.
Sekhmet was also seen as a healer and was thought to have the power to cure illnesses, especially those associated with the head and eyes.
Sekhmet was the daughter of the sun-god Ra, and was worshipped in temples throughout Egypt.

Meet the Artist
London, United KingdomI am a London-based artist and I am deeply inspired by nature and the divine feminine. I have painted all of my life but decided to dive deeply into my passions in 2017.
I create vibrant art that makes romantic references to water and flora, all wrapped up with royal golds, the female form and exciting Afro-Psychedelic prints. It is truly eclectic, colourful and rich and reminds the viewer to live life in the most exciting way possible.
It is my understanding that art is one of the most important skills we have in documenting the breadth of the human experience. Each of us has a million stories to tell, and we all have our own most favoured ways of telling them- Painting is mine.
My stories combine both the seen and unseen worlds, and I dedicate my craft to documenting where those two realms meet. The natural world we see with the naked eye has an unknown story eager to be brought to the surface. The Animism that once resided on the British Isles and across the globe is the key to these stories and a beautiful, untapped bridge between cultures.
My art has been featured on The Big Breakfast (ITV/ Channel 4), and at London's heart Trafalgar Square as a part of "The World Reimagined" Art trail as well as in Exhibitions and Galleries across the UK.
