Festival of Hearts

Every February the Friendship Center, a Santa Barbara adult day care center, hosts the Festival of Hearts to support H.E.A.R.T. (Help Elders At Risk Today), a program that provides adult day services for dependent adults and their families who could not otherwise afford these services. The event features unique "Heart-Art" and party favors created by local artists. This year I was honored to be asked to participate. With a provided paper mache heart as a base, I took some inspiration from my kids' wall art collection and created a "feathered" heart from painted swatches.
