Artemis was commissioned by a company in Columbus, OH, with a different goal and target. The company wanted a feminine confident and attractive—kind of a melting of classical and modern, with a certain softness as a woman. The company was described as ingenious, creative, purposeful, passionate, strategic, knowledgeable, agile, flexible, straightforward, independent, challenging the normal boundary standards.
The name and symbol of Artemis was chosen. Zeus’ daughter, divine huntress, held the status and privilege of an Olympian, aloof and free-spirited. Her symbols are the bow and arrow and a deer. The deer was omitted, since it seems to refer too much to death.
In my design of Artemis I used a clearly draped female figure, slightly elongated body, muscular, graceful, bow poised for a clear shot at target, face and aim slightly upward-skyward but clearly focused on the target. Her back is arched back more for higher focus, but she is flat-footed, well grounded, ready to fire with the silver tip arrow.
