The Sorceress and her Apprentice

A joyful tale of magic in motion, The Sorceress and Her Apprentice captures a moment of playful alchemy. Against a vibrant yellow ground, the sorceress conjures a majestic blue serpent from her breath—fluid, alive, and protective—while her young apprentice looks on in wonder, standing on a lotus-like motif and holding her own ribbon of potential.

Surrounded by celestial symbols and stars, the composition celebrates feminine power, knowledge passed through generations, and the quiet confidence of becoming. With hair flowing freely and embroidered details that speak to Indian folk traditions, this piece is rich in symbolism and colour, stitched entirely by hand with stranded cotton on soft cotton fabric.

A tribute to learning, transformation, and the threads that bind teacher to student—and magic to breath
