The Big Reveal

We had a great turn-out at a mask-free reception before The Hearts of Carmel were unveiled in select locations throughout downtown Carmel! 10 enormous hearts, 10 local artists, lots of Love for Carmel. I painted one of the hearts in my studio and it was then picked up and sealed with a protective coating and placed on the lower level of the Carmel Plaza. As I worked on this heart I kept in mind that this would be a public work of sorts and thus I made one side (top) a little more beachy and "accessible." The other side shown below is a more typical reflection of my work. Do you have a favorite side?

Devised by Leadership Carmel, the project will help celebrate the return of life and hope to Carmel-by-the-Sea. Love is always the bridge to connection…to community. These will be on display for the summer and auctioned off at summer's end to benefit youth groups in our community. I'm so grateful to have been involved!
