This piece resonates with many of the people Anna Marie knew and also with many that she did not know. We all can relate to this beautiful little bird and have things in our lives which represent to us a feeling of being held back. Perhaps its addiction, medical illness, physical or other mental challenges, or perhaps simply a circumstance in our life that makes us feel restricted. The artist  does a sublime job of expressing this feeling of limitation.

We have adopted this image as our most prized work. The artist behind the founding of the Sunny Porch inspired us to use the  free bird and sun for our branding in representation of a place of recovery. We would like to help others find their sunny porches in life and understand that living with limitations is not a death sentence. Rather, that a full life is not only a right but also attainable.

The Artist preferred not to name her pieces because she felt that it decided the meaning for others. Anna wished for others to decide for themselves what they see in her art. She cared about what it might mean to them and saw the possibility that different points of view may find their own meaning in her creations.

I believe this is what Anna Marie meant when she said that her art “was alive”. She would always say that her art was alive to her, that it was part of her.

What do you see in this art piece?
