Synopsis

Perhaps in no other way do we more vibrantly reflect our creator than with our creativity. Whether through music, writing, baking, painting, posting on social media, dancing, or any other form of artistic expression within our grasp, we were created to create. Yet, there are times we may be unsure about our art, times when our creating and making doesn't feel possible or purposeful or practical.

Rachel Marie Kang wants you to know that your art is not peripheral to life—it is at the very heart of why you exist and what you have to offer to yourself and to the world. In Let There Be Art, she gives you permission to embrace the peace, pleasure, and purpose inherent in your art and in the process of making it. This passionate, creative, and cathartic journey invites you to create truthfully out of the broken and beautiful pieces of your life, as well as offer your heart and your art in hopes of helping a hurting world.

A Memento Mori for Creativity— Rachel’s book sparks the question that dwells deep within us—does it matter if I create? This existential question ignites in our minds as soon as we turn the page.

I’m giving this book 3 stars for this reason…I truly wish this book would have been written before the pandemic. But it wasn’t and therefore the author chose to reference the pandemic throughout the book. While that may have been cathartic for her and may be helpful for many who read this book, I fo......more
