"The Society of Layerists in Multi-Media demonstrates through its members' art the dynamic transition taking place: the collective awareness is shifting from seeing humanity as separate and disconnected, to viewing it as an integral part of the cosmic whole. The Layerists depict the magnificence of this transformed vision through metaphysical images that portray memories, feelings and impressions of the past, present and future coalescing into a single captured moment that at once reveals both the universal and personal meaning inherent within that moment. The Art of Layering: Making Connections is an important book for our troubled times because it offers the unique perspective of artists whose work serves as a visual reminder of the energetic and spiritual connections that unite us in one holistic creation moving and growing together."—Barbara Ganim, author of Drawing From the Heart: A Seven Step Program to Heal Emotional Pain and Loss, and Art and Healing: Using Expressive Art to Heal Your Body, Mind and Spirit
