M. Rainbow Bast
has been drawing and painting since childhood, with mythical and magical
themes surfacing often in her art over the years. After raising a family
and working as a Registered Nurse for many years, she returned to school
to earn a BFA in art.
Much of her work now comes from her direct
experience with meditation and other forms of spiritual work. Rainbow
explores the divine dance of life and the as the great wheel of the
seasons turns and our planet endlessly circles the Sun.
Rainbow has studied both astrology and tarot since the mid 1970’s
and her art is influenced by her understanding and work with these arts.
She very recently decided to paint the major arcana of the Tarot. Her
first piece is the High Priestess, seen on the home page of this site.
Until March of 2005, Rainbow has not shown her work except to very
few. Aside from some private commissions, her work has been solely for
herself. She was convinced by a close friend to finally make her work
more widely available to the public.
