Publisher's Synopsis
"Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted." Martin Luther King An Artist and the Light is a heartwarming and profoundly lyrical memoir-a golden travelogue-that paints a colorful picture of a traveling muralist who dares to create a life not dictated by societal standards. Through bright optimism, Eleanor Yates cherishes the compassion and protection people show her in every country and village she visits. She delights in magical blessings and finds greater meaning as she learns to consider each challenge as a rich possibility, ultimately harvesting a bright wisdom from characters and circumstances met far and wide. In her own words, "This book has been painted with magic. My greatest intention is to embolden joy and love. I want you to feel transported, to float free as a bird, to feel your own creative imagination dance with new ideas, and shine with bright, vivid euphoria wherever you go."
