Melancholy Hearts, Rachael Cox, 2005

"My intent within Orphic Art is to create magical, beautiful art that soothes the soul, evokes the emotions, stokes the imagination, and supports one in their quest for personal transformation. Throughout the years our culture has forgotten how to dream and feel, sadly losing the magic and love of living. As a result, we’ve inadvertently lost our inner power. It is my hope that my art might remind people that magic and wonder remains inside of them, and that it is possible to have the world of your dreams." Rachael Cox
