Celtic symbols, arts and culture
Celtic Artists: Jen Delyth
Jen Delyth is a Welsh artist who has created many beautiful works based on her interpretation of Celtic symbols and designs. She has books, calendars, t-shirts and other items with spirals, zoomorphic images such as dragons and other symbols. Much of her work also incorporates her concept of the Celtic Tree of Life. The tree of life is a theme common to many traditions, from Norse to Kabbalistic. Trees certainly play a significant role in Celtic cosmology, as we can see from the Ogham, or tree alphabet which uses names of trees to signify letters.
Jen Delyth is an artist who is both keeping old Celtic artistic traditions alive and bringing them into the future, as her designs are at once ancient and contemporary.
What follows is a video by Jen Delyth, Land of the Blind, Trance Peace Concert, with some great images to go with the music.
