Petra was always a creative child from the time she was very young and had a sense of wonder about the world. When she first saw an Earth-Globe it looked like a big puzzle-piece to her and it seemed like all the landmasses at one time fit together. Later in life she learned that this was true, that we were all part of ONE super continent called Pangea and it made her realize that we are more alike than we are different and that our strengths lie in our capacity to love beyond borders and beliefs and to come to truly understand that we only benefit individually if we ALL benefit as a whole. Show each other kindness and compassion and see the beauty that is all around us.
That is why she began her journey of painting hearts as they appear to her in nature and acrylic-liquid- pouring because she realized that many of her feelings could not be expressed in words. Paintings however were the messengers of her Inner World where she could ‘Pour out her Heart and Soul’ and just express and surrender to who she is. She is still on that journey and still enjoying the ride.
