From the artist: "I completed The Phoenix Rising in 1990 as I was recovering from a long period of illness. It has significant personal meaning for me and is one of my favorite works.

"In Egyptian mythology, the phoenix is a beautiful bird that lives for 500 years. It builds its own funeral pyre with wood and spices, sets itself on fire and rises reborn again from the ashes more beautiful than ever to live for another 500 years. The Phoenix Rising is a symbol for resurrection, immortality, triumph over adversity and the indomitable power of the human spirit."

About the artist: Marina Petro is a Visionary Artist and Intuitive Consultant. She is a self-taught artist. "The majority of my paintings are created through my imagination. Painting from my inner world demands existing in the moment -- responding to impulses and impressions as they arise and seek external life. My still life pieces and more realistic landscapes and florals are painted from life. This provides the dynamic of a visual reference point in the external world--a radically different experience. One is my internal, spiritual world brought forth into visibility. The other brings the external world into, and through me, for expression. Each is a great adventure, providing unlimited possibilities for creative expression and discovery.
