Bathed in rich crimson hues of autumn, Autumnal Equinox celebrates the season of harvest, gratitude, and transformation. Standing beneath his tail-branch adorned with turning leaves, the stag is blanketed with a tapestry of golden, amber, rust and emerald foliage across his back with flying geese seeking shelter for winter, a reminder of nature’s abundance before winter’s arrival.

The autumn equinox marks a moment of perfect balance, when day and night stand equal before the world begins its gradual turn toward darkness. In this piece, the stag serves as a guardian of that transition, embodying both the vitality of summer’s end and the quiet wisdom of the seasons yet to come. Drawing inspiration from Nordic folklore, woodland traditions, and the timeless rhythm of the natural world, the vibrant reds and warm earth tones evoke crisp air, falling leaves, and the comforting beauty of autumn at its peak.

Years ago, I read Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden, and the story stayed with me. When I began thinking about how to open my series “Echoes of Her Culture” I felt compelled to start with this ancient art form. As I studied the role of geishas in Japanese culture, three of their most cherished virtues stood out to me: peace, beauty, and strength. From that inspiration, “Virtues of a Geisha” was born.

This triptych features three distinct geishas in traditional dress, each depicted in a moment emblematic of their way of life. Every panel blends the contrasting textures of polymer clay and wool. In the first panel, a geisha holds an umbrella, shielding herself from falling cherry blossoms. In the upper left corner appears the Japanese kanji for Peace (Heiwa). The second panel shows a geisha demurely hidden behind an intricately decorated uchiwa fan, alongside the kanji for Beauty (Utsukushii). The final panel captures a dancing geisha performing with traditional sensu fans, accompanied by the kanji for Strength (Chikara). Each panel is colored to reflect its virtue: blue and green for peace, tranquility, and harmony; pink and white for fleeting beauty and purity; and gold and indigo for divine power and nobility.

The work is needle‑felted with Merino sheep’s wool on a 100% wool felt backing, paired with Sculpey Premo polymer clay. Each panel measures 8" x 10" and is matted in cream and framed in a black wooden frame.

Details:

• Size: 40” x 14” x 1”

• Materials: Merino wool on 100% wool backing

• Framing: Black wood frame and cream mat
