Life, Paint & Passion: Reclaiming the Magic of Spontaneous Expression

"Like spring winds, this book and its painting process fling open the doorway to the garden of the spirit, bring enormous healing and deep fertile renewal, offering the heart a beautiful garden for its dance."
-- Jack Kornfield, author of A Path With Heart

From the Introduction by Natalie Goldberg :
“This book is an extended deep meditation on what it means to be alive and to express one’s true being. It is about mining the uncensored self, that part of us that is our life’s blood, the true foundation of creativity… This book is thorough, detailed, and leaves no aspect of the force of inspiration and vision untouched… Anyone with the desire to create should read this book, for what is written here reaches far into the psyche and the realm of human suffering and
delight.”

This is Michele’s first book, written in 1995. In it, Michele recounts her journey to discovering her unique painting method as well as many teaching experiences which show the joys, frustrations, and celebrations faced by her students. Extremely helpful for beginning and experienced painters alike, this book provides a deeper insight into the exciting world of painting. Life, Paint and Passion offers powerful questions to help move the painter back into
the world of spontaneous expression.
