Art From the Heart, For a Cause
Susan Korsnick, local
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.
