Thank you Collin for your photograph “Pink and Teal for the One that Got Away.”
“The photo I originally took a few years back during the fall when I lived in California. I went into the garden department of the Lowes I worked at and was drawn to this blanket of chrysanthemums. I took a few dozen shots and came out with a really crisp vibrant close-up which has always been one of my favorite photos to experiment with new editing techniques. Which is ultimately why I chose it dig it up from my archive of photos to work with.My ex is also a photographer who often works with gradient maps when he is editing his photos. I was inspired by one of his edits of Lana Del Ray with Pink (a favorite color of his) and Teal, so
I took a page out of his book and updated this photo for heartart. I thought it was befitting considering the theme of the event. He has since moved to New York to pursue his dream of becoming a famous photographer, we still talk, we miss each other, this is my homage to Tony, the one that got away.”

Thanks to Chris Cowans for donating his awesome piece titled “Collector Plate.” He describes it as such:
“How do we decide a thing is valuable? What makes an object “collectible”? This art piece seeks to provoke these questions. The overly-ornate script lettering applied in metallic gold foil on an otherwise ordinary dinner plate declares itself to be desirable. Devoid of taste and material value, the plate is part of an open edition — so not even its scarcity can give it worth. It is part satire, part commentary and part crass commercial venture.”

Some very exciting news from participating artists James Garcia. While The Museum of Contemporary Art’s installation Toxic Schizophrenia is familiar to most Denverites, attendees of Art for Heart Sake in central London will also get a chance to see it in the beautiful photograph, ”Halo Heart.” It has been selected among 100 pieces to be included as part of another charity auction in the lead up to Valentine’s Day. To amongst 100 of almost 3,000 entries truly shows how beautiful this image really is. Let’s hope both pieces bring in what it deserves.

The wonderful yogis at Root have donated a private yoga lesson for two in their brand new Healing Center! This item is great for any couple, whether you’ve never stepped on a mat, or you’ve studied all the way in India. Private sessions are a perfect venue for teaching students the intricacies and nuances of yoga that are challenging to do in a group format. Are you holding your breath, locking up or getting frustrated in certain poses? If so what does this mean, how can you work through it in a sacred space and bring awareness to your practice and potentially your life. If you are ready to take your practice to another level or if you’re nervous about starting your practice for the first time, this package is great for you and that special someone.
These wonderful yogis have also given one week free yoga for five lucky raffle winners. What a great addition to the wonderful items available.
Simply put, the people at Root are inspired to help others cultivate personal growth, connection and healing through the lessons of yoga. Our goal was to create a space in Denver where you can truly explore your “roots”, so that’s just what we did. Through the powerful practice of yoga, we encourage you to feel into your physical, spiritual and emotional bodies, and thus become better rooted in who you are and enabling your life to sprout in a healthy and balance way.
