Lucia Capacchione, Ph.D., A.T.R., author of Living with Feeling "Mystics and artists throughout time have appreciated how practical and spiritual worlds meet and shape one another through the act of drawing - Spirit is given tangible and particular forms as the material world is simultaneously inspirited by the perceptions and intimate gestures of a person. Let your hand lead the way and reveal sacred realms through the imagery and feelings that will emerge when you commit yourself to the practice of drawing - using this wisely crafted book as a spiritual and artistic guide." Shaun McNiff, author of Art as Medicine and Trust the Process. "Heather Williams guides her readers into the world of line and shadow, inner and outer landscape, and every corner of the natural world and the human heart, providing exercises and a helping hand to anyone with a hunger to draw and, more importantly, to feel and to see."
