      Synopsis

      Stretch Your Wings • Learn to Soar • Take Flight

      In Taking Flight, you'll find overflowing inspiration—complete with a kindred spirit in author and mixed-media artist Kelly Rae Roberts. Join her on a fearless journey into the heart of creativity as you test your wings and learn to find the sacred in the ordinary, honor your memories, speak your truth and wrap yourself in the arms of community.

      Along the way you'll be inspired by:

      • Step-by-step techniques—learn the most-loved mixed-media methods of the author and seven talented contributing artists, and combine them in fresh and unexpected ways.
      • Thought-provoking prompts and quotes—along with encouraging stories, insights and gentle guidance for finding your bliss, whatever your art or craft.
      • Plenty of eye candy—pages and pages of the author's endearing artwork, along with the varied works of the contributors.

      Of course, learning to fly isn't entirely a step-by-step process—sooner or later, you just need to take a deep breath and spread your wings. With Taking Flight as your guide, there's no doubt that when you do, your creativity will soar.

Once she began to listen and nurture her creative voice, her life exploded with a joy she hadn't known before. She's had several articles published in Cloth Paper Scissors magazine and has been featured in various mixed-media books by her peers. Her paintings are collected worldwide and she is consistently accepted to show at juried art festivals around the country. Recently, she signed on with Brush Dance Publishing and DEMDACO for long-term licensing agreements that will showcase her work on cards, journals, magnets, calendars and wall art reproductions in stores nationwide.

      January 11, 2009: I am reading this book and cannot put it down. There are beautiful art lessons which I will certainly learn from, however, there are life lessons as well that almost mean more that the art! Kelly's writing is as if she is looking into my windows and putting to paper what she sees in me. I can totally connect with her words. I would recommend this book to any one, artistic or not, you just may see a little of yourself on her pages!

      September 04, 2008: This is not just a technique book, it's chock full of pure heart and soul coupled with fantastic art and step by step techniques! I was so inspired that I had to run out and pick up a few new supplies that I had no idea were even out there. This book has so many ideas paired with heart felt stories of looking deep within in order to step out of your comfort zone and soar! Kelly Rae is incredible! -Carmen
