From the Heart

By Maria Poroy | February 13, 2021

I started the heart series before the pandemic with no goal other than making something beautiful and decorative. The series was an experiment in form and color. But as the pandemic began, the hearts took on new meaning.  They became a conduit for expressing my own inner turmoils. And they became a way of connecting with other people. With one piece, Milagro (see below),  I challenged myself to make a heart that was a portrait of a friend and see if I could capture her essence. When I showed her the finished piece and she began to cry, I knew I was on to something.
