Artist Statement

This painting is the result of deciding to finally feel it, to stop numbing, and to face my sleeping

heart. After layers of paint, writing on the canvas, applying paper and various objects I realized

that hope lies deep below the pain….like a seed buried deep beneath the frozen earth. The

process of this painting was an effort to face the accumulation of pain in my heart that had

gathered there from a divorce, from broken friendships, from repetitive sexual harassment, from

childhood abuse, from deep grief. For years I ignored what my heart was telling me, not only the

pain but also the whispers of my deepest desires, passions, and what gave me joy. Over my life I

have witnessed not only myself do this, but others so often ignore their suffering, putting their

heart to sleep. I believe it is time to listen and to feel it.
