Bleeding Hearts
18.5” x 14” x 1.5” (framed), acrylic on maple panel, 2024
Created in Bozic’s signature technique of diluted acrylic on maple panel, this original painting was commissioned for Brave Baby Hummingbird (Simon & Schuster, 2024).
Beyond its role in the book, it stands as an independent work of art, embodying the fragility, resilience, and wonder that define Bozic’s larger practice.
A single hummingbird hovers delicately before an arching stem of bleeding heart blossoms, its shadow cast softly on the maple grain—an image of quiet beauty and fragile persistence.
A portion of proceeds supports large-scale land conservation through Art to Acres.
