Art Is a Spiritual Path: Engaging the Sacred through the Practice of Art and Writing

Description

Art is a spiritual path - not a religion, but a practice that helps us knit together the ideals and convictions that guide our lives. Creating art can be prayer, ritual, and remembrance of the Divine. Pat Allen has developed a reliable guide for walking the path of art through a series of simple practices that combine drawing, painting, and sculpture with journal writing.
