sharing her art that her healing journey begins in earnest. Accompanied by rich, full-color images of her art in every chapter, Litteral shares stories about the creation of her pieces, their stunning symbology, and how they aided in her healing journey. Litteral is both an artist and an activist, a fierce champion for survivors, and an unabashed advocate for the healing power of art.”

Artist and Art Produce Gallery Founder/ Owner Lynn Susholtz, who granted Litteral an artist’s residency to work on the Show and Tell memoir, describes Litteral’s book as “(a) clear-eyed examination of life and personal trauma.”

“(T)his book accompanies an artist creating a healing path that cuts directly through pain to build a fulfilling life of generosity and truth,” Susholtz said. “Using her intuition and creativity in navigating and challenging the forces that often pull one towards suffering or despair, Litteral chooses a journey that eventually leads to developing a new language and a new creative purpose. With a spirit of openness and exploration she manages to speak to and nurture the artist she has always been. There are many important lessons for all of us in Litteral’s self-revelatory journey. One of which is the power of listening to and accepting your own story and the transformative power that comes with pursuing and using your own voice.”
