"The Maiden is everything a child might be ~ fearless, playful, adventurous... There is also certainly an innocent ignorance that seals her bliss. The Tied to the Moon triptych tells a story of the Moon’s connection to us and the Earth, as translated through ancient Celtic spirituality. While the puppet-like quality of the subjects reflects the Moon’s influence, the poses illustrate shifting perspectives via three Celtic archetypes: Maiden, Mother, and Crone. Together, they represent complete the life cycle." Elizabeth Ladwig

"Tied to the Moon: Maiden" presents a surreal and imaginative scene. A person in a flowing red dress is suspended in the sky, grasping a string tied to a full moon, which is stylized to resemble a balloon. Lush, voluminous clouds set against a gradient sky that transitions from a darker, subdued tone at the top to lighter hues near the bottom frame the central figure. The juxtaposition of the large, luminescent moon and the floating figure provides a dreamlike quality to the composition. A single bird is shown flying near the string of the "moon balloon," adding a sense of scale and freedom to the scene. Overall, the artwork evokes a sense of whimsy, weightlessness, and fantasy.
