"This mixed media piece represents the emotional result of trauma and the forced suppression of self, not only by the military but by aspects of society and family.
This shows the steeling of self in an unpenetratable shell that we put up to protect ourselves while the sadness and anger rage inside. These powerful emotions can only be contained for so long, before their explosive forces begin to wreak havoc in our lives and those around us.

Christine Wisdom is a life long artist from New England who now resides in the Pacific Northwest. She creates mixed media display heads and abstract paintings focusing on color and texture. She has been branching out into other mediums and plans to continue expanding her reach."
