Inspirational I consider myself very fortunate to have taken Jane Dunnewold's Creative Strength Training online and to have studied with her in her Mastery Program. I recommend Creative Strength Training to artists of any medium. I want to share what an impact her book has hadMy mother in law Jean, has always loved doing textiles. From weaving to quilts to beading to dyeing, to sewing. For as long as I have known her she has had creative ideas simmering in her mind. Over the last few years she has had to give up her textile work due to macular degeneration. She resigned herself to no. "The One Book!" according to linda kamp waugh. Jane's book has "unstuck" me and is moving me through an "art light". Doing the exercises which include both art and writing, have helped me to examine where I'm at and where I want to be as an art quilter. I especially like her discussion of "perfection" in one's work which I've always had a problem with. Jane's choice of words, her emotions, her love for art and willingness to share how she discovered her "distinctiveness" all makes for an inspiring and deep thinking read. Thank you, Jane. You've enlightened me along my art path.. "YES! YES! YES!" according to bybethstudio. YES! YES! YES! Jane has put together a clear and easy to read path to getting yourself out of your head and into your art. A clear path to becoming a deeper and more authentic artist in both life and work. For years I have wanted to visit Jane's studio and take a class. Now with this book, Jane's guidance and wisdom are with me wherever I may be in my living room, in the car, at my children's practices and especially in my studio. It's Jane in book form! Perfect for seasoned artists or those just starting out or those that might not even know the artist inside themselve
