About a year ago, after spending a week meditating, I finally came to terms with the truth about where my life had taken me, and that after years of training and working as a physician, I had postponed exploring my creative expression indefinitely. And with that realization, I decided that it was time to focus on my painting, and so began my series of 100 Hearts.
I have been painting over the past nine months, slowly adding to my collection, but also realizing that I wanted to do more. After much thought and debate, I decided to take 2011 off to focus on several different things my heart has been longing to do for a long time. One of these passions is painting and so, my 100 Hearts Series, though far from finished, has turned into 1000 Hearts, which really includes not only literal interpretations of the heart, but all forms of its expression.
And so I embark on a new journey as I explore what it means to connect with the heart in many ways, not only by connecting more with what moves me, but also by exploring what comes up on the canvas through meditation, shamanic journeying and prayer.
