Birth of Appalachia
Birth of Appalachia
Fine Art Giclee reproduction of original painting by Marcy Parks.
Appalachia is a Goddess of unrivaled beauty and bounty. Her skin is creamy like the blooms of a magnolia in the springtime and her hair is golden-orange like butternut squash in autumn. Her eyes are aqua, like a mountain creek in the winter and her cheeks are always flush as if it were summer year-round. She was born and raised by the milk of a cow and is said to always accompany lone calves and fawns bedding down in tall grasses.
She was discovered at night by women in the valley of the mountains sitting next to a lake under the shade of the dogwood trees. Were it not for the glow from the lightning bugs, they would have missed her all together. The two women that discovered her raised her on their farm as their own, and in exchange for their generosity, she taught them how to make yarrow poultices and tinctures with passionflower and mimosa blooms. She is the patron Goddess of artists, musicians, hikers, herbalists, and farmers and serves as a guardian and guide to young children.
The “Birth of Appalachia” was inspired by the famous “Birth of Venus” painting by Italian painter, Sandro Botticelli.

Shipping: PRINTED TO ORDER. Please allow up to 3 weeks for us to carefully print and package your piece when it is ordered. Marcy sometimes has stock on hand, in which case the piece will ship sooner. Prints in sizes 10x8 in and 14x11 in will ship flat in a rigid mailer. Larger sizes will ship rolled in a rigid mailing tube for greatest protection during shipping. Canvas prints do not come stretched, allowing you the option to either frame or have stretched yourself.
Cropping and Framing: The cropping of the image differs slightly from size to size. The reason: these prints are designed to fit standard-sized frames, which have varying proportions. Framing is recommended. Prints are designed to bleed off the edges, with no white border. This way they can easily pop into standard-sized frames without trimming.
Certificate of Authenticity: Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Marcy Parks.
Color: Please note that color varies from computer screen to computer screen. Color is represented as accurately as possible.
