Wounded Hearts: A Journey Through Grief

Wounded Hearts: A Journey Through Grief is a series of annotated paintings created by CSUSM instructor, psychologist, and artist, Dr. Colleen Moss, after the sudden death of her husband. Depicting intense pain and despair, these paintings ultimately convey a message of hope, transformation, and the miraculous resiliency of the human spirit. This exhibit facilitates an understanding of the grief process and promote a dialogue about grieving in our personal lives and across cultures. Creating a "virtual exhibit" for Wounded Hearts: A Journey Through Grief enables the CSUSM community to continue to explore and interact with the exhibit. All paintings copyright (c) Colleen Moss.
