CARELLA KEIL | AN ARTIST’S STATEMENT
“Queen of Hearts” is the visual companion for a series of intertwining short stories that explore realms of heartache and magic. The reflecting faces and staircase in this piece form the shape of ventricles, cupping the mysteries of the heart. The piece has a sacred chamberlike quality, as though it is a surrealist X-ray of the heart.

She has been published in numerous literary journals, including Columbia Journal, Chestnut Review, and Crannóg. Her writing was recently nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Her art has appeared on the covers of Glassworks Magazine, Nightingale and Sparrow, Colors: The Magazine, Frost Meadow Review. and Straylight Magazine.
