In this visually rich and thoughtfully written book, Lisa Lipsett bathes you in a natural world of creative imagination. Once engaged you will discover how to paint with the richest colours and patterns of both self and Nature. Whether you are inspired by meadows of sunshine yellow, forests of earthy warm brown, or oceans of cyan and aquamarine, Beauty Muse is sure to spark your innate creativity. Through Lipsett’s Natural Painting practice, discover how to let go and follow where the paints and inspiration lead, allowing beauty to blossom from your hands. Easy-to-try activities will nourish your hunger for authentic creativity, meaningful self-exploration and deeply felt nature connection. Author Lisa Lipsett’s combined experience as a seasoned painter and environmental educator gives Beauty Muse creative wisdom and ecological timeliness. Beauty Muse will appeal to anyone longing for a creative practice to call their own, in addition to educators, artists, therapists and parents interested in strengthening nature relationships through the arts.

What others have to say…

"Lisa Lipsett demonstrates a full knowledge of the higher purposes of art, the deeper meanings of the relationship between humans and all the rest of creation, and how artistic processes can bring a more profound communion between the two."

-Art therapist and educator Peter London, author of Drawing Closer to Nature

“Lisa Lipsett has created an inspiring and informative guide to the new field of art ecotherapy. As we open our senses and spirit to the rest of Nature we are rewarded with both beauty and healing."

-Ecotherapist Linda Buzzell, co-editor of Ecotherapy: Healing with Nature in Mind

These days children spend less and less time outside and more and more in front of a TV or computer screen. They desperately need to reconnect with Nature and what better way than through art. I hope a lot of teachers and parents will find this book.

-Author, environmentalist David Suzuki
