So this was the beginning of my attempt at art.
Its called Heart Spirit Rising..............the story behind it is about a woman that passed away,on Valentines Day 1994. I was working part time in a Treatment Centre for women with substance abuse problems.The Director was ill and passed very suddenly. I was new and really did not know her as well as the other staff. The drawing came out of reading about the medicine wheel and so "out of the Center" which I see as the Creator came "heart spirit rising". Graduates recieved a key chain with a heart on it and this woman was much loved by staff, clients and family. And so this is what came to me in the midst of everyones grief - I was torn - I needed a full time job and was hired when the staff shifted.
I had just come off a relapse myself and an intervention should have been done by the new director............it was wrong however it may have saved my life.
