Red Lines, Acrylic painting on canvas by Haley Waddington Artist Statement: I carry my own heartaches and my families passed down pain.

Hello Haley,

I'm so glad to see your work here! My eyes keep coming back to the central circle (heart?), and where the eyes and hair merge with the black background. Is she emerging or sinking into the background? And what a smile/smirk to accompany! Not what one would expect - there's mystery to this piece.

Our bodies and minds are vessels of the past. We attempt to stay "present" and keep open to new experience. Must we continually pour out our contents to refresh, or is there room for all?

Is this painting for sale? Do you have other work available? Please feel free to post your contact info here so others can find you!
