Art Heals is an engaging book that deals with the challenges of being an artist with depression and undiagnosed bi-polar disorder. The author shares stories from her life as an art student and then a struggling artist. How do you create when you are broke and depressed? What small actions did she explore to journey from despair to persistence.
Mary Anne Radmacher, author of mutliple best selling books on creativity and self care offers this endorsement This book is a massive invitation to anyone who has ever considered a quick exit from the planet. Stay. Although not tempted by such an act, I find the affirmation and reminders profound invitations to self-care. I have used collage over the decades. Familiar with many practices, I was delighted to take away new skills and inspiration from the Collage Call to Action which punctuate this tidy book. For those who struggle with depression, accomplished artist or those who resist calling themselves creative, this is a focused, engaging, and compelling tool. I anticipate giving it away repeatedly.
Reverend Edward Brock, Intermin Minister and author gives us this perspective on the book. Liz McEntee has written a timely, practical, and moving account of the healing powers of art. Art Heals is written in an engaging and vivid style, and it brims with solid and practical advice about healing the soul, mind, and emotions. Liz's book resonates with the authority of those who have gone through a great struggle with depression and emerged on the other side.
The author is currently working on a novel as well as her next volume on Art Heals. When she is not writing she is creating collages, painting, teaching or having a snack. She shares her cottage with three hard working interns; a Lab named Molly, a Bichon Frise named Colin and another Bichon Frise named Rex. They all share their yard with squirrels, chipmunks, deer and a multitude of birds.
