Artist's Description
In Italian tradition, La Befana is the kindly witch who leaves gifts and candies to good children on the Eve of Epiphany. Legend goes that she was a very busy Nonna (grandma), always cooking and cleaning, like all Nonnas. One day, three wise kings stopped at her home, explaining that they were going to visit the Christ child and bring him gifts. She gave the three kings food and shelter so they could rest, and in return they invited her along upon heading back to their journey. She said she couldn't go because she had too much cleaning to do, so they left. After baking, she was sweeping the floor and lost in thought, she realized the opportunity they had given her, so she grabbed the sweets she had baked, still holding the broom, and ran out to catch up to the kings. She ran and ran so fast that the broom caught the wind and started flying, and she dropped sweets during her flight, hoping they would reach the baby Jesus. Every year, she takes flight again, leaving gifts in the shoes...
About Roxy Riou
Always an Artist at heart, I was raised in Greenwich Village, certainly when it was the Bohemian center of New York City. The people, architecture, concepts, and small-town living in the middle of a big city helped to form how I see the world - my own personal brand of Life-Thought. I love to see the everyday Magic in Nature, in our Universe and within Us. My art comes from the Heart, and the Muses that stop by then and again. I hope you enjoy your strolls through my galleries and that you will find something to make your heart smile! If you own a shoppe and would like to carry some of my work as greeting cards or smaller-sized prints, please contact me by e-mail and I will happily work with you! :D Blessings and...
