Delightfully Amazing! January 7, 2009
As an artist, I ordered this book for my collection thinking it would be great to flip through for inspiration and admiration. So far 4 of my friends have bought it and several paintings have been created inspired by the images. I have other books by this publisher and they are all great! I have put more on my wish list for anyone who wants to buy me presents.

a fairy tale book, full of nice images and colors but unless you're just approching art, mixed-medias and collage, this book is of no use.I think the author is very nice and good in sharing and also encouraging if you're starting or re-starting an art approach, but if you're looking for something "deeper" there are better things around. My fourteen years daughter liked it a lot.
inspirational and not a dry how-to art book December 29, 2008
Provides a lot of inspiration stemming from Kelly's own impressive personal journey of creativity. Truly a confidence builder and a good intro to experimenting with art, and good writing to inspire you to be creative. And beautifully illustrated! I highly recommend this to people looking to dive into their creative side.
Beautiful and inspiring December 29, 2008
It is difficult not to just echo other reviewers, but this is truly a beautiful and inspiring book. I actually purchased this book for my sister (based on the Amazon reviews), as I am not an artist or even artistically inclined. But I ended up reading this book cover to cover before she even started it. Each chapter offers creative inspiration for many areas of life. I approached the thoughts in this book as a writer and dancer and found her words of wisdom to be equally applicable to my areas of creativity. The chapters are short and simple, meant for reflection and meditation over time. She also offers quotes and pages for journaling answers to questions that capture the concepts of each chapter. Though I am not an artist, I love collages and have actually been inspired to try some of her exercises. I also love the design of the book as well as her works which are featured throughout. Just a beautiful book to look through and read again often for inspiration. I am ordering my own copy for sure.
