Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A written work that really works for the Artist
I am both a sculptor and a consultant in the use of art's transformational power to generate social innovation and general well being. Ms. Azara's book is both a personal joy to read and a professional tool.
I recommend it to any person interested in discovering or revisiting their own artistic spirit.
Rating: - Wonderful

Through Ms. Azara's book, I realized that there is also an artistry to trusting myself and my own experience. ... Read More
Rating: - Great book, artwork, and information
I bought Nancy's book because I enjoy her artwork and was pleased at how it helped me understand her artwork as well as providing a great approach to deal with patients on their issues using a variety of art forms and mediums. Nice examples, and a generally great book!
