About the Cover^©

This Quarter's cover is graced by Wood Woman, which is a work of Jessica Galbreth's. Jessica is a graduate of the University of Toledo. There she studied painting, focusing on the human figure. She has been inspired by mythological works since an early age, and it was only natural that she dedicate herself to the fantasy and mythological art she loved so much.

"I draw much of my inspiration for my art from the intricate beauty of nature, as well as from my fascination with ancient mythology. Many times, when I am painting my "portraits" of deities from ancient myth, I feel as if I am just a vessel - whereas I am being "used", so to speak, to bring forth the images onto paper. Often, my finished works look nothing like I planned them to...it's as if my hands are being guided by unseen forces as the painting takes on a life of its own."
