I Want to Be Happy and Healthy, Artist Book
PERSONAL WORK
“The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.”
― Ernest Hemingway

INTEGRATING THE SHADOW
In Jungian psychology shadow work is the path to self-acceptance. Turning toward the shadow self allows the unconscious to become conscious. Hidden creativity, strengths and sources of renewal are uncovered. Integration results in psychological rebirth.

LANDSCAPE

—Helen Keller

PORTRAIT
“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
― Sylvia Plath
