Lena Snow: The Visionary Behind Goddessarts Magazine

At the very core of Goddessarts Magazine’s identity is Lena Snow—a creator whose vision has been the magazine’s guiding force from its inception. As the founder and artistic spirit behind the publication, Lena Snow’s passion for championing meaningful, transformative art is woven into every page and initiative.
Lena’s journey began with a desire to carve out space for underrepresented stories, especially those centered on feminine power and artistic healing. Through her leadership, Goddessarts Magazine flourished from its women-focused origins into a thriving, inclusive community. Lena’s curatorial approach is marked by empathy, innovation, and an unwavering dedication to authenticity, ensuring that diverse voices—regardless of gender—find a home within the magazine’s evolving narrative.
Her influence is especially evident in the magazine’s recent initiatives. While Goddessarts has become known for spotlighting outstanding male artists like Nedum Udeze, Kurt Beardsley, Marko Chakalovic, Damian Scaglia, and John Ruggieri, each selection reflects Lena’s commitment to work that embodies strength, healing, and a deep exploration of the human spirit. Her open invitation to artists of every background and medium—save for video—demonstrates Lena’s belief in the power of creativity to transcend traditional boundaries.
The introduction of open calls and the esteemed Goddessarts Prize were both championed by Lena Snow, who saw in them opportunities to further democratize the creative process. She encouraged submissions that not only explore femininity but also embrace universal human experiences—such as “Dreamscapes” and “Spiritual” states—making sure the magazine’s pages resonate with a sense of unity, healing, and inspiration.
Even as Goddessarts Magazine grew into an international platform, Lena has preserved its foundational tribute to women-focused projects while forging a space where everyone is welcome to share in the exploration of the “divine feminine” and the collective stories that shape humanity. Lena Snow’s leadership, creativity, and unwavering vision continue to make Goddessarts Magazine not just a publication, but a living testament to the connective and healing power of art.

Lena Snow’s evolution as an artist is a journey of reclaiming her personal narrative, moving from a self-taught teenager to an internationally recognized fine artist and magazine founder. Her development is defined by three distinct phases:

• Early Years and Discovery (2002–2011): Lena began her artistic path at age 13, inspired by the strong female characters of the anime Sailor Moon, which she drew obsessively. Her early professional output included a “flower collection” meant to capture the individual aura of people through mandala-like designs. She later transitioned into abstract series exploring concepts like time, society, and the afterlife, while experimenting with materials such as plastic foil, metal, wood, and everyday objects.
• The “Awakening” and Goddess Series (2020–2022): After years as a teacher, the 2020 pandemic sparked a creative awakening for Snow, prompting her pivot to full-time art as a survival tool for processing personal trauma.
• She launched her signature “Goddess” series, featuring mythical, empowered female entities designed to serve as “energy sources” for viewers. In 2021, Snow founded Goddessarts Magazine to provide a platform for artists—especially women—to share stories of resilience.
• Maturation and Global Recognition (2023–2025): Lena’s recent work draws philosophical depth from American Transcendentalism and the Pre-Raphaelite movement, emphasizing intuition, self-reliance, and spiritual enlightenment. She has developed specialized series such as the Archaic Series (exploring ancient Celtic and Japanese female deities), Planetary/Orion Girls Series (featuring otherworldly women), and Nymphs & Celtic Goddesses (focusing on nature’s transformative power). Her current practice is marked by precise acrylic technique on high-quality paper, using vibrant reds, pinks, and metallic accents to create a 3D shimmering effect. By 2025, Snow has received multiple accolades, including the 2024 Gold List of “Top Artists of Today” and the Luxembourg Art Prize certificate of merit.

Lena’s artistic journey mirrors the inclusive philosophy of Goddessarts Magazine, reflecting the publication’s commitment to celebrating diverse creative voices and universal human experiences. Her leadership has helped shape a global community where artists of all genders can explore the “divine feminine” and share stories that inspire healing and connection.
