How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?
Health is at the center of life, and the heart is the body’s engine. Recently, in the midst of grocery shopping on an ordinary fall morning, my heart let me know it needed help. Since then I’ve become hyper-aware of the rhythm of my heartbeats and the pattern of my pulse. Therefore, the heart features prominently in this painting.
