Hamsa Aura

by Aimee Bungard

Aimee Bungard is an artist living and working in the hills of Appalachia just outside Pittsburgh with her guitar player husband, 3 free-range children, 2 Suessian mutts and 1 perfect Torti kitty. She considers Giacometti, Vincent, Frida, Hilma Af Klint, Tascha Tudor, Bukowski, Dylan, Townes Van Zandt and RamDass to be of the highest inspiration. Artist Statement: The last few years my art has become a statement of the Present. From the collective trauma of Covid through my involvement in birth work as a doula and beyond my ever-increasing frequency of Migraine I am being reminded that our point of power, personal and collective, is held within the honesty of our moments. Our Now. We leave breadcrumbs for those following. My art has become an authentic statement of my every changing now, filled with fears (real and imagined), pain (chronic and seasonal), repressions and unimaginable growth.
