The painting, “The Healed Heart” was inspired by the research of the heart valve. We are able to look at the healing process in a playful manner. The painting asks to be perceived, glimpsed, looked at. It fills the room as with an aura of paradise. An angel, in peaceful repose between branches, draws the viewer in towards a place where
the heart resides. This is the place of healing. It is the longing for the possibility of being a carefree child once again. Holding the moment in one’s hands. The painting transports the viewer into a state of calm. The happiness of what hasn’t been said is part of its magic.

The painting is beautiful, touching and it brings about feelings of happiness. It radiates harmony and peace, and these feelings stay with me for the whole day.”
