Produktbeschreibung

Discover how art can heal, inspire, and bring solace and more meaning to your life

As a trained calligrapher, artist and designer, Sarah Zoutewelle-Morris started out building her career on the 'art as a product' route. Gradually, she came to realize that art is not just products or a vocation, but that it is also intimately connected with healing, transformation and community-building. The process of deep and far-reaching change in herself was influenced by artists she was inspired by.

Art, like friendship, has an intrinsic worth without having to be a means to an end like fame or money. Viewing art as a link to the natural, wild and sacred realms, Sarah's work shifted to seeing art in relationship to others, the world, and generosity.

Sarah contends that it isn't the task of the artist to fit into the market ideology, but rather to bring artistic values, beauty, soaring imagination and fearless skill into that arena. This beautifully illustrated book maps how the arts are a powerful force and how artists are stepping outside the boundaries of the studio, untethered by the emphasis on money, to re-awaken their original function as the intermediary between sacred realms and the newly emerging everyday world. Art is once again fulfilling its visionary role in creation and renewal, offering fresh images to light up our imagination and alternatives to how to live on our planet. Art can transform you: it can awaken your generous spirit.
