Art From the Heart, For a Cause
Susan Korsnick, artist,
writer and coach, is selling prints of her most recent work, Family,
with 100 percent of the profit going to the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital,
Australia. The hospital provides for the “rescue and treatment of sick and
injured koalas and release back to their home range if possible.”
Korsnick, currently living in York County, Pennsylvania, shares, “as bushfires
rage across Australia, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the devastation and
unfathomable loss of life. Courageous men and women are on site doing what
they can. Those of us far from the tragedy feel it deeply and long to help
in any way we can.”
In describing her work, she notes that the image
represents all of us holding the koalas with love in our hearts. The wavy
symbol in the lower background is the Australian Aboriginal symbol for fire,
smoke, water and blood. The larger symbol in the upper right is their
symbol for family. To Korsnick, the definition of family extends beyond
bloodline to include all beings the world over.
Prints available; $35. For more information or to
