Find my Heart

Find my heart - This piece is so fun and it makes me smile every time I walk pass it. It definitely is an easter egg piece, you really have to look to find my heart. So much fun adding hand embroidery onto this piece. The feeling I get from this piece is pure summer fun. Being young and going to a music festival without a care in the world. Wearing your heart on your sleeve because your heart has never been broken. Sitting on the ferris wheel with your first love... the joy of being young.

Lena Baumgartner is self-taught and creates large scale abstract expressive works. Looking at Lena's works and you feel everything first - bold colours, soft gesture and the pulse of emotion. She creates thick, texturally brush strokes that you want to reach out and touch. She often pairs striking and contrasting colours together to provoke emotional responses when viewing her artwork from afar. Her practice is mood-led with restless days drawing in the greens and blues while frenetic days are filled with vibrant pinks or even muted neutrals. Sometimes the compositions are clean, other times they're messy and alive. She has actively participated in both solo and group exhibitions, showcasing her talent and unique way of mixing and blending colours on canvas. You can also see her artwork on the South Australian Renmark Gin brand - 23rd Street, Mulberry Gin bottle.
