These collage pieces are from a series of Halena’s famous oil paintings, which use 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.
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.

Eating Paint
The expressive life of painter Halena Cline, as told to Candi S. Cross, takes us from a dramatic childhood growing up with five sisters in the rolling hills of Kentucky, to champagne-soaked art binges all over the world, hard-earned solo and group exhibits, and the emotional flashpoints of escaping a cult and risking it all. Halena’s tragic and triumphant experiences are reflected in her original oil paintings for sale online, documented in staggering exploration and emotion. EATING PAINT showcases twenty of her most astonishing works.
“Even though there is no one definition of what constitutes a drawing artist, through Halena’s victorious story, we can feel the power of art to express, heal, make sense of our experiences, resolve conflict, and give us alternative ways to grow, reinvent and feel joy.”
Maureen Lippe — Former Editor of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar
