I was given the name “elephant heart” by a friend who thought that I experience feelings so deeply, that I must have a heart the size of an elephant! I soon discovered that there were many others who have elephant hearts too. By sharing and celebrating our connectedness we can better understand ourselves, and ultimately each other. In a world where a cacophony of noises can stress our senses, the painting process creates a place of sacred peace. Writing gives me the opportunity to express gratitude for the gifts that surround us all. In giving voice to the common core of our human experiences, we all become freer to live life with faith, serenity and inspiration. Please join me on my journey.

I invite you to view my work as a way to examine the deeper meaning of your personal inner path. My paintings reflect the way I observe and process my own journey through life’s many triumphs and challenges. The moments I strive to capture in my paintings expose the raw essence of feelings that come from deep within my heart.

In healing,

Deborah
