While every life is a roller coaster ride of ups and downs, artist Sharon Mirtaheri found a way to salvage her own self-worth through the layers of making art. Her story encourages us to rise above circumstances that would just as easily keep us small; to turn to the unconditional love of nature; to give of our own gifts to those less fortunate and to come to understand no one can believe in ourselves for us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSharon takes us through her discovery of encaustic collage and shares stories of the life that inspired the art; how she uses her personal metaphoric library of symbols-birds, trees, plants-to heal deep wounds; questions based on principles of design that every artist can ask him- or herself about any composition, as well as an in-depth tour of her own encaustic-painting process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51187847594207,"sku":"9781737696308","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/ZIbQ8AalNV9781737696308.webp?v=1786438304"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/sharon-mirtaheri.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
