Life Within, Collage by Catherine Raine, 2012
I made this collage for a brave and spirited friend who has been fighting a life-threatening illness. When I asked her what colors, images, and themes she might like, she wrote, “I have been enjoying vivid colors lately, and anything that evokes the ocean. We spent two weeks in Hawaii before my surgery, and images of the water and life within helped carry me through . . . . Themes of time, stretched and compressed feel relevant.”

Beautiful!
Thank you so much for your supportive comment, Lua!
Our dear and trusted friend will love it. It is very powerful, yet celebrates her beauty.
I knew you would understand how the beautiful lady and the colors represent our dear friend’s beauty. She said she loved the piece and my hope and prayer is that the collage is comforting to her this week.
