About the Painting:
“I have been painting for about 15 years now and two years ago I started a series of paintings inspired by my personal evolution. Two years ago this painting, part of the series, received 1st place in the Feminart show. It’s a 4’x4′ oil on canvas painted entirely with rags. It is quite texturized and symbolizes a woman’s’ transformational journey of the heart and a desire for change.” – Liza Sarinsky
