Evolution of a Wild Heart

by JoAnne Helfert Sullam

Overview

This powerful memoir details the journey of an artist through an emotional metamorphosis, which allows her to see herself not through her own eyes, but through the eyes of wild animals. Raising, freeing, and painting portraits of wild animals has fostered a connection between JoAnne and the animals whose lives she helps to shape.

 Her struggles to find freedom from overwhelming internal adversity and an intense desire to belong, led her to seek comfort in nature. When she turned to nature for answers, she found a stark difference in the reality of animal life versus what she had been taught. She soon realized that very thing about herself.
