Suns, Moons & Stars, Hearts, Flowers & Butterflies Danielle Lucas

Suns, Moons & Stars, Hearts, Flowers & Butterflies is a catalogue of the art pieces in a local Oregon community Art Exhibit. The Author is also the Artist and considers this particular style of creating as Experimental Expressionism. The Artist finds a therapeutic approach through the use of mixed media materials. Artist's Statement, "Immersing oneself into healthy hobbies helps with overall well-being and self-esteem. Many of my creations are a form of therapeutic healing in times of high stress. I use a variety of materials to create images. These include paints, glue, yarn, fabric and recycled items that would otherwise be thrown away. I am trying to do a little part to save the environment while creating a little more peace and harmony."Each page has a color photo of the artwork included in the collection starting at the beginning of the exhibit. The first piece in the collection is titled, "To Change the World, Love Your Family". This concept is repeated throughout the exhibit. Each piece contains thought provoking questions to help the viewer think about the artwork and their position in relation to the piece.
