The painting I was invited to include in this group show is entitled “Tangled Heart” 23" x 30" x 1.5" Mixed media on 300 pound arches paper mounted on wood panel and is part of my Fragments of Life Series.

About “Tangled Heart” We often fragment parts of ourselves in various relationships and situations so that we 'fit in' or that people like us. This fragmentation is a contraction away from our true selves. By consciously making art I reclaim the fragments, re-align to my authentic self and allow my full expanded being to be and shine in this world.

This painting can be purchased at the gallery during the exhibit dates (MARCH 15 - APRIL 9, 2022) or online via Saatchi Online Gallery: https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Fragments-of-Life-23-Tangled-Heart/499285/3406523/view
