Thank you for landing on Planet BreakAway.
This moment is not about me or my perfectly imperfect life. It is rather about timeless paintings that have urgent stories to tell.
To aid navigation I will introduce the collections:
Genesis is where is all began. An iconic, often recognizable set of works that use humour to by pass the mind so the confronting images make their way directly into your heart.
Resurrection is the current swell of paintings that are bursting forth my re-entry to oil painting after years dedicated to public artworks.
Giving Voice is a collectable series of small but mighty cameo pieces based on the Elements. This is where I hand over the microphone to individual creatures to have their say.
Together the artworks form a chorus of voices, sung by nature’s bounty, inviting you to listen, behold, harmonise and share.
Like the universe, this space is expanding so do strap yourselves in and come along for the ride (insta, facebook, blog).
Dedicated to all living things, gratefully,
Samantha Wortelhock
PS If you would like an introduction to Planet BreakAway, Balance was my Big Bang moment.
Balance
A dream revealed a blueprint;
A collection of paintings from Source:
Nature’s Voice a palpable presence
Spelt out a collision course.
The painting “Balance” was the first of many
Within it the promise of the others
It speaks of Natures gift to us:
A reigning free will to soil our nest, our sisters and our brothers.
And within that infinite freedom
Our choice to question Mother Earth
And doubt her steady presence
From our immaculate birth
So with our minds we alter a perfect state:
Change the course of rivers and pollute the land
And she lets us, until that day
When she lets go her steady hand
And we hold up the elements as we
Fall….
And sense that free-fall feeling and finally connect again
With the visionary artist within
The one who knows that we are Nature
And that everyone is kin
And in to her loving arms we collectively
fall….
We forgive as we re-member
A healing touch, a magic time
A loving trust surrender.
