What readers say

“Inspirations: Art Embracing Awareness 2 is a beautiful book. The artwork and the poetry and the prose work together to weave an inspiring spell. There is so much timeless wisdom in the book, truths that we can never be reminded of often enough. I found it truly inspiring. I believe it needs to be shared widely.”

John Arthur Sweet, writer/performer, recipient of the On the Edge Fringe Award for Outstanding Original Work, 2023

“Frantisek Strouhal's intriguing art responds to our current quest for a more complete understanding of the behaviors of ourselves and our world, from the cellular to the personal to the cosmological. Strouhal’s art radiates a calm, humble and generous spirit, urging viewers to increase their awareness of their feelings toward self, as well as toward the human, natural and spiritual environments amid which we live. Written meditations crafted in the same spirit accompany each artwork in Inspirations: Art Embracing Awareness 2. The words offer the reader an additional dimension to experiencing the art: a possible pathway to an enhanced exploration of the facet of life that has inspired the art.”

Tom Wayman, fiction writer and poet, recipient of British Columbia’s 2022 George Woodcock Award for Lifetime Achievement in the literary arts
