Overview

Discover it for yourself.

Inside Art Saves, experience the stories of 20 artists who found that artistic expression and the artistic process is worth living for. Whether you are a calligraphy/graffiti artist like Lisa Engelbrecht, a metal artist like Michael DeMeng, or digital collage artist like Susan Tuttle, art has a way of giving you beauty, meaning, spiritual richness, community... even salvation.

The stories in this book come from every medium, because the power of the creative process can be found everywhere.

Hear from:

   • Drew Emborsky, a crochet artist, provides comfort through his creations by donating his work to hospitals and shelters.
   • Rebecca Sower puts craft materials—and hope—into the hands of Haitian women through Haiti By Hand.
   • Marie French who, through art, creates personal miracles of healing.
   • Suzi Blu, who discovered the real, therapeutic effect of art-making, shows you many simple, effective ways you can give back.
