"[A]n artist book about Diana, the Goddess of Hunting and her encounter with Actaeon, the deer hunter ... Poor Actaeon, looking through trees at Diana bathing in a river, had no idea the merciless Goddess would turn him into a stag, only to be torn to pieces and devoured by his own hounds. At the same time I was impressed by Diana's fierce will, independence, strength, her love of nature, her protectiveness over the young, and her power over men. Diana and Actaeon resonated with me strongly because of my family history: I was born into a deer hunting family in Michigan, a sport where traditionally men hold all the power. This made me want to explore the idea of the powerful woman huntress--a modern day Diana. Today, women hunters are the sport's fastest growing demographic. They are skilled with bows and guns, love the thrill of the hunt, the community, the competition, the victory of a trophy, and providing food for their families. I am intrigued by the idea that women have innate qualities that might make them better hunters such as patience and perseverance"--Artist's website, September 7, 2016. http://laurarussell.net/store/magnificent-beast/ 1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 9 x 31 cm
