Finding Wholeness Through Art Making: A Search for Authentic Living

Through her own artistic journey, Jean Boughton examines what it means to live creatively and discover the deeper connections between art, identity, and life experiences. Moving beyond the traditional idea of an artist as only someone who creates objects, this book explores creativity as a way of seeing, experiencing, and making meaning in everyday life.

Using images, symbols, dreams, mythology, and personal reflection, the author explores how the creative process can reveal hidden parts of ourselves and bring together the many pieces of our lives. The journey is represented through powerful symbols such as the circle, artist, child, dance, gateway, and still point, each reflecting stages of growth, discovery, and transformation.
