Story / Additional InfoThe artist is often experimenting with xeroxed scraps from many different sources, in this case old art history images enlarged and collaged on canvas. The theme is the sacred heart and it is combined here with textured bits from old Persian paintings. She likes to combine images and objects from different, disparate sources. The heart dominates this piece and one thinks of valentines and love. The artist found new love after losing her husband of 30 years and celebrates love in this art piece. The sacred heart and the cactus are symbolic of her half Hispanic background. The cactus gives a bit of an edge to the romantic quality of the work.
