ON SOFTER GROUND: Paintings, Poems and Calligraphy
GOLD MEDAL WINNER FOR MOST OUTSTANDING BOOK DESIGN 2016
FROM INDEPENDENT PUBLISHER BOOK AWARDS (IPPYS)
A Beautifully Printed Book of 24 Paintings and Poems. A Rare Treasure.
From the introduction: “This book is the culmination of a seven-year artistic journey. It began with the thought that creativity is an opening, a gateway into the realm where a life force greater than I am joins with me to create. I actively sought this connection and found that painting and poetry were my doorway into that place. With this intention, I set up a practice twice a week to keep me focused on this work.”
From the back cover:
“The classical Greek lyric poet Simonides of Ceos wrote that ‘Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks.’ His uncanny insight is borne out, page spread by page spread, in Sherrie Lovler’s new book, On Softer Ground, where her paintings are poetic, and her poems are painterly, and silence speaks in hushed tones of awe and wonder.”
– Phil Cousineau, author of
The Art of Pilgrimage and The Painted Word
