A self-help book for artists "crammed with practical ideas, inspirational images and creative exercises... establishing what kind of creative you are"( Mslexia ). Unlock your creative potential with Conscious Creativity: a practical, playful guide bursting with inspiration to help bring more color into to your life. There is creativity in all of us, but it can easily be buried beneath our everyday concerns. Whether you've lost your mojo or just need some fresh ideas, artist and photographer Philippa Stanton's lively guide will stimulate your imagination and reinvigorate your creative life. Engage your curiosity and connect your observations to your creative practice with activities such as:

• Noticing all the hues of one color you can see around you
• Creating an abstract textured image using herbs, spices and other dry ingredients from your kitchen cupboards
• Collecting shadows: photograph hidden shapes and dark spaces that you haven't noticed before

Conscious Creativity will help you open your senses to the beauty you may not notice every day, and show you how to capture it. Simple, engaging exercises that encourage observation and experimentation will give you an insight into your own aesthetics as you take a conscious step to note the colors, shapes, shadows, sounds and textures that fill your world, and how they make you feel. Embrace the joy of creating and learn to use your natural curiosity to take a leap into the most creative time of your life. "Full of tips and tricks on how to look at the world with a curious eye, it's a brilliant way to breathe creativity (back) into our lives." — Flow magazine
