These collage pieces are from a series in Halena’s fine art paintings for sale, which uses the cut-out silhouette of a young child as the focal point. The child is awkwardly posed, hunched forward with her arms drawn upward by the elbows and her legs turned inwards. Often, the head of the silhouette is altered; here the crown of the skull is elongated, appearing to wear a cone party hat. The body is made of painted patterned paper.
Superimposed on the figure’s torso, is the skeleton of a dress form, with stacked blue hoops and spirals at the chest. Below the torso is a dangling cherry, which hangs just above the knee. Two pieces of barbed wire cross over the figure’s legs, creating an X shape stretching from left to right.

One of my fine art paintings for sale is “OSTARA”. Against a colorful background of tie-dyed hues and collaged images of her eight children, the bright pink frame of a woman’s body stands in a relaxed position, insinuating a moment of peace. The viewer is given the view of the female’s body, who seemingly looks out at her audience. Parts of the figures body, whether exterior or interior, are highlighted with collaged materials. For instance, on the mother, the breasts are covered by a doily pattern and roses to line the rounded shape of the breasts and the nipples. Similarly, the genitals and pelvis are replaced with various and flowers and shells. Additionally, the eight images on both sides, four on each side of the female, and their placement underscore motherhood and femininity, specifically the floral elements that envelope the reproductive system. Halena Cline celebrates a mother’s contributions as a mother and a woman.
