Conversations with the Muse: The Art Journal as Inner Guide by Susan Cornelis is now available!
This book is a celebration of the creative spirit through the practice of art journaling. My own art journals from the past six years serve as examples of how personal revelation and healing art are cultivated through this process. The reader is guided through the steps including: accessing a quiet state of mind, translating inner feelings and visions to paper, employing a wide array of painting and collage techniques, and writing expressively to reap vibrant meaning from the images appearing this spontaneous manner. The colorful images, materials, techniques, and written words combine for a rich feast for the imagination.
The book is available online at the Blurb bookstore in both soft and hardcover editions. If you live in the Santa Rosa/Sebastopol area, email me if you are interested in picking up a signed softcover copy.
