NAMI makes my art its new Logo!

NAMI of Delaware and Morrow Counties requested to use one of my prints as the logo for their local affiliate. I couldn't be more pleased. Especially since I am active on the board. Here it is displayed on the t-shirts we printed for the Franklin County NAMI Walk.

  I digitally revised the older and somewhat faded original from 2008. It is so nice that my art has found its place in the description of mental health recovery.

Here is my art logo printed on the banner for NAMI Delaware and Morrow Counties. We proudly carried the banner on the Franklin County NAMI Walk in June 2014.

Here is the original art




             

           






 And the digitally revised art here.  I am pleased with the                                        crisper,brighter colors.

The Story behind "Releasing the Pain"

 This is my mixed-media piece, "Releasing the Pain".  The three figures represent the evolution of a person  through a painful experience. The first blue figure curled at the bottom is sad/blue. Her face is 
hidden by a broken heart. The second red figure is able to express warm compassion toward her broken self and embrace the pain. Her face is no longer covered by a broken heart. The third yellow figure represents  lightness and freedom in releasing her pain. Her pain no longer defines her. All three figures have emerged from darkness as seen by the black background. This painting represents hope through pain, which seems to be a recurring theme expressed in my art.
