While love is emphasized on one day of the year, giving these works of art will remind your Valentine of your love all year long. Cassandra Barney’s Ex Votos are created in recognition of life as an ongoing series of miracles. And surely, love is grandest of them all. Celebrating the love found in any relationship, these works of art are the perfect gift at the perfect time.

These three pieces are styled with the look of the tin-paneled works found in shrines across Mexico and can be hung alone, together, or with the other Ex Votos works. “These little artworks are painted out of gratitude for the miracles, protection and prayers answered not only in my life, but for many of us,” says artist Cassandra Barney. “In conceiving these, it didn’t seem that I was illustrating an idea, but sharing and exchanging one. It is a chance to savor that feeling and say ‘thank you’ for letting me experience the miracle of love.”

To Never Ending Love shows two individual trees intertwined to become something bigger, stronger and more beautiful. The marriage of those trees will yield fruit that will not only nourish them, but others as well. There are honey bees buzzing over the bride’s bouquet, enjoying the nectar of the flowers and ready to pollinate the tree above. I am grateful for love that has grown into something more wonderful than anything I could have imagined."
