A Work of Heart is a creative project led by Simona Wiig and Megan C. Norton-Newbanks that invites individuals with a Third Culture experience to share their stories through art. This first volume is a curated collection of artwork by and for Cross-Cultural Kids (CCKs), Third Culture Kids (TCKs), global nomads, and anyone whose identity has been shaped by crossing cultures. In these pages, you will find glimpses into the emotions, memories, and transitions that define a life lived across borders. Simona and Megan, both Adult TCKs, artists, and storytellers, are passionate about honoring the beauty and complexity of the Third Culture journey. Drawing on their experience facilitating creative spaces for TCKs, they created this artbook to amplify voices that are often scattered across continents yet deeply connected by shared themes of identity, belonging, home, and change.
Inside this volume, you will find artwork accompanied by personal reflections from contributors representing diverse backgrounds and global paths. Each piece is a testament to resilience, creativity, and the unique ways TCKs make meaning of their stories. Whether you are a TCK yourself or someone who loves and supports one, this collection of over 70 artistic expressions invites you to pause, reflect, and appreciate the richness of lives shaped by multiple cultures.
A Work of Heart is more than a book; it is an invitation to see, feel, and celebrate the global mosaic of the Third Culture community. It is a space to honor shared experiences, to recognize the beauty of lives lived across borders, and to find comfort and inspiration in the stories, colors, and symbols of those who understand what it means to grow up between worlds.
