Portfolio 4: "Of My Heart" Collection
Artist Statement:
"Of My Heart" delves into the soul-stirring tapestry of my life, a profound odyssey intertwined with animals, sacred places, and plants. This series is a visceral testament to the emotional ties forged through my conservation efforts – creatures, locales, and flora I've aided and or have aided me, and in return, have left an indelible mark on my very existence. Each stroke of my art narrates the lessons learned about life's undulating current, the dance of going with the flow, and following my heart. My heart spills onto the canvas as I lay bare the love and spiritual kinship I share with these sacred beings. These are not just subjects; they are kindred spirits, interconnected souls that have shaped the very fabric of who I am. "Of My Heart" becomes a raw, emotive mirror reflecting the coexistence and soul connections I've cultivated, an ode to the profound intertwining of our hearts. It's a passionate plea for unity, underscoring the reciprocity between us and the natural world. This collection narrates tales of mutual understanding, becoming a dance of shared impact, emphasizing the sacred bond between humanity and nature. Through this visual journey, I yearn to kindle a flame that illuminates the interconnected essence of all life, beckoning us to appreciate, cherish, and give back to this shared existence we call Earth.
