Strength of Heart – based on an African Lion and the inner whisperings of my soul.

 

The eyes are green, rather than a lion’s typical amber, as my eyes are green. This lion symbolising the strength of spirit, was becoming my reminder and refusal to cave into my circumstances. 

The pinks an ode to the love I have for myself, the deep blue calming but also the power I held. After all, I chose to fight and embrace the process to give myself the best chance. It is the biggest act of self-love I have ever committed to.

Not only that though; I have been (and still am) keenly aware through this whole process of the millions of people that face a diagnosis of cancer each year. But still more; how many people endure circumstances that seem insurmountable at the beginning?

Yes, creating this painting has supported me through my journey. However, with a nod to the Phoenix; the lion and flames represent the remarkable indomitable spirit of every person that faces crisis and chooses to not let it define him/her.

Celebrating the strength found in an open heart and the power we each hold within the choices we make.

Appreciate you and give thanks to the strength in your heart.

A Message from Elaine

The Original Art Story

I love creating beautiful artworks of animals, as I love being within nature itself.

However, this piece is more based on me than any other piece I have yet created.

In March 2021 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and my world rocked. I quickly decided that this experience wasn’t going to define me and that I was going to do everything I could to beat this disease.
