About the Artwork
“This painting was made for my father, whose favorite organ was the heart. My goal was to evoke feelings of warmth and serenity.”
Florence J. Yip is Chinese. She was born in Colorado but spent twelve years of her life growing up in Bangkok, Thailand. “From a young age, I’ve always been in awe of art and how a blank piece of paper can be turned into something so beautiful. Art has been a way for me to view the world in a different perspective and a tool for me to express myself. I love mixed media, and my most recent endeavors have aimed to merge my love for art and my passion for medicine.”

I love this image so much. Is it possible to purchase a print?
Beautiful work of art. The heart is a very powerful organ with countless vital capacities, with infinite functions other than pumping blood, many of which are intangibly felt. It is a very intriguing organ, being there always, subtly holding life together.
Well done!
Thank you for such beauty. . I felt this after my heart transplant.
