COURAGEOUS HEART is a series of paintings that explore the depth, power and connection of two best friends as they navigate the joys and struggles of life. It is intended to shed light on the relational complexity of chronic mental health challenges, and is positioned from the perspective of a carer, solid supporter and compassionate witness.
Courageous Heart gives voice to human experiences, rather than labels or diagnoses. It is about our ability as human beings to relate to feelings of love, fear, anger, sadness, surprise and joy. It is about our capacity to feel both the darkness and the light. It is about our need for understanding, compassion and empathy.
Courageous Heart explores the notion of “always”, or “all ways”, and what it means to show up with a Courageous Heart to be seen. To be heard. To be loved.
This series is dedicated to all the Courageous Hearts out there, and honours each and every person who shows up to life in a way that is authentic, courageous, honest and vulnerable.
