Critics Review
“Allen has produced a wonderful book for anyone, artistic or not, who is interested in using art to know more about himself or herself.“—Elizabeth Caulfield Felt, Washington State University, Pullman, Library Journal
”Art Is A Way of Knowing has a practical, hands on, and experiential feel to it. It is like a guide book or a manual for those interested in self-exploration through creative activity. Allen persistently invites the reader to join her. I found her to be an encouraging and competent guide.”—American Journal of Art Therapy
“Finally, a self-help book that is true to the passionate and turbulent movements of the soul in the process of creation.“—Shaun McNiff, Ph.D., author of Art as Medicine
