The Ladies of the Labyrinth is an allegorical fantasy series that began with paintings I created for the Cosmic Cowgirls "Legend" painting and writing course.
The series currently comprises 5 loosely related stories across an indeterminate span of time and space, and in various states of completion. Series updates will be shared here. For a behind-the-scenes look at the work-in-progress and finished artworks related to the stories, see the Knucklehead House Press Patreon page.
Original paintings and signed museum-quality prints of my paintings are also available. See my website, www.taraerin.com, for more information.
