      Advanced Praise for Art Is About Being Whole

      “Art Is About Being Whole is a heartfelt and nourishing book about the way that art can surround and support your life. If you feel like you’re outside the art world, if the art world isn’t helping you, this book can be a life ring, the kind the lifeguard tosses into the pool. All you have to do is put it around you, and you’ll be towed safely in to shore.”

      James Elkins

      Author of Pictures and Tears: A History of People Who Have Cried in Front of Paintings

      “Art Is About Being Whole is a song of praise, celebration, and invitation—into the power of art to illuminate and expand our lived lives. Cindy Ingram’s memoir shares her story as a testament to the ways a full embrace of art can heal our injured places, illuminate our uncertainties, and open doors of experience that we never imagined. This is a beautiful book, filled with ideas to be inspired by and to borrow. You will feel you have new best friends in Cindy and a thousand artists when you finish.”
