Inspired by the blooming bleeding hearts in her own garden and the love, compassion, and emotional vulnerability they represent, Seeking the Heart uses the flower as a pathway to connection, inviting viewers to trust in their innate ability to traverse uncertainty with an open heart.

She works under the name Wild Valentine, a creative world built on a promise to her late grandmother to share her art with the world.
