Author, speaker and mosaic-artist Marie Elisabeth A. Franck Mortensen takes her vast experience gained from the creative world and couples it with the art of creating everyday life.
Included in the book is a wide number of illustrations, which exemplify and support the artist’s experiences from working with the concept of “The Creative Space In Between”.
It is important that we all keep in mind that the act of creating is not a right reserved for artists. We all create art in our own lives.
Keep in mind that you are not only the artist but also the paint brush, the colors, the canvas, and the painting which you are creating. No matter where you are or what you are dealing with.
