Frozen Emotions

by Susan Van Sleet
Author, Artist, Birthmother

author of a
Birthmother's Book of Poetry


During the period that followed her daughter's birth and relinquishment in 1966, birthmother Susan Van Sleet portrayed what she describes as "gut-sensing" artworks. Numerous portraits depict her own emotions as well as images of how she perceived her estranged daughter to have looked. Taken from her book, the painting and poem titled Frozen Emotions, is the first in a series of self-portraits with poetry.
Sixty-seven was the year Weeks turned months In private tear Politely guarded ....programmed never to tell Her numbed emotions Were secreted well Trapped and bewildered Veiled in blue A hollow feeling Pierced her through Convinced it was an act in kind How could such guilt then ...plague her mind?
