Cradle My Heart

I had been looking forward to re-working this piece for some time, waiting for the right moment when my creativity would flourish. I enjoyed utilizing the negative space of the hearts, allowing the silver and gold leaf to shine through the center of the artwork. The surface is a cradled wood panel, and I felt that the title, "Cradle My Heart," suggests the idea of gently holding and protecting something you care for.
