Geri deGruy's blog of art, musings, and inspiration

"The sun will shine into your heart and warm your soul."

That is the quote under the heart woman. Don't we all want that?!

The background of this piece, "Heart Shine", is paper-cloth. (see link below for instructions on how to make paper-cloth.) I used mostly wallpaper in the making of the cloth-paper and it wrinked thickly which I think is an expressive textural effect. I love how art work evolves and surprises me as I create!

The woman is black and white except for her very red heart. All around her is color, especially yellow and green, flowing her way. Music, nature, words, color. 

I felt joyful as I made this piece. I hope you do too as you look at it.
