She’s been working with mythological ideas for a while, as seen by the myths, legends, and fairy tales category on her site. An example is this 2008 painting, Pandora.
Terry has been getting a little extra Greek inspiration through ancient paintings and portraits.
I Love the way she uses her professional photography skills for her art. She takes portraits of people and uses them as models to paint greek mythological figures. In 2012 she completed a painting of Athena for The Incognito Project. The painting was featured in a show and then published in a book by Matter Deep Publishing.

2)Sabin Howard: (http://www.sabinhoward.com/)Sabin Howard is a contemporary sculptor, working in bronze, who has created three “heroic scale” sculptures of Hermes, Apollo, and Aphrodite. Howard’s sculptures harken back to a renaissance exploration of classical mythology, while using bronze to remain grounded in our modern aesthetic. Howard is a teacher as well as a sculptor. Check out his awesome Hermes statue, complete with his totem animal, the serpent, below.

3) Mats Minnhagen (http://www.minnhagen.com/)Mats Minnhagen is a Swedish digital artist who posts work on DeviantArt. He does a lot of illustrations for fairy tales and myths. I found Minnhagen through his steampunk Orpheus. This epic re-imagining of Orpheus and Eurydice has been the wallpaper on my desktop quite a few times. His style is colorful, dramatic, and has a really great sense of light and humor (such as this drawing, Eureka). Unfortunately, most of the books Minnhagen has art in are Swedish. I don’t speak Swedish, so I guess I’ll just stick to following him on DeviantArt.

5) Meera Gupta: (Hindu Mythology) (http://www.rayden.in/artist.php?aid=MG)
She is a veteran artist whose work thrives exclusively on Indian mythological subjects. She brings out the beauty of Indian culture in every piece of her work through transparent water colors, oil colors and acrylic color on paper and canvas.
Her uniqueness lies in the way she uses nature specially fauna for her expression in the lines she draws and the shades of colors she uses. Everything blends nicely to give shape to her thought and subjects. Her brush simply follows her feelings in the most natural way like a graceful flow of sacred river. That is why her paintings are ever fresh, eternally new and give the utmost satisfaction to the eyes and deep satisfaction to the soul. Her expression is completely revealing Indianness through her paintings. They charm us with the multicolored and varied features of Mother Nature.
