Create your own Wings of Love
I am so happy you are here, ready to take my “Wings of Love” class. I hope you have fun playing with mark-making and layers as we create gorgeous wings wrapped around a heart in this mixed media piece.

Heart Love
This Winged Heart piece is symbolic for a few reasons, to me it’s expressing my freedom to love, wings to soar with whatever or whomever I love as well as allowing my heart to always be open. One of my favorite quotes from the poet Rumi is “Only from the heart can you touch the sky”. Isn’t that amazing? So simple and perfect.
