That Artemis was the daughter of Leto and Zeus, and the twin of Apollo. Artemis is the goddess of the wilderness, the hunt and wild animals, and fertility? She was often depicted with the crescent of the moon above her forehead and was sometimes identified with Selene (goddess of the moon). Artemis was one of the Olympians and a virgin goddess. Her main vocation was to roam mountain forests and uncultivated land with her nymphs in attendance hunting for lions, panthers, hinds and stags.
I had the really nice opportunity today to meet Ylva Callewaert, owner of Artemis Custom Framing (20 Maplewood Ave., Gloucester www.artemiscustomframing.com); a really lovely woman from Holland with the sweetest Dutch accest, who is also a great framer. She chose the name Artemis for her business because she loves the independent nature of the goddess Artemis, and because her husband’s business is called Sundance – and Apollo, the twin of Artemis, is the god of the sun.
Ylva has a great selection of frames, only frames archivally, and is happy to give advice to artists on their framing, as well as free quotes. If you are an artist or an art buyer who has framing needs, check out Artemis. Ylva is now a new subscriber to Good Morning Gloucester.
