"Transfer Fire Into Light” by Kimber
Transfer Fire into Light painting description by Kimber. I paint with my hands, which allows me to bare my soul to the canvas to heal my wounds. While my palms and fingers are an extension of my heart, the paint and canvas are a journal for me to transform my pain into beauty. The dark side of this painting depicts the horror of my mental illness and my symbolic escape to the bright side when I discovered painting, my passion.
