Ready for more joy in your life?
The Art of Aliveness is a vulnerable chronicle of my most impactful and tender life stories, along with the most potent insights I’ve gleaned from my years as a creative guide, painter, and human being.
Written during the pandemic, this book will not teach you how to paint, but it will show you how creativity has the power to inform and invigorate all aspects of your life. You can read the first two chapters here.
Reader Review
More ReviewsI can’t draw. I’ve never painted. I almost didn’t buy this book because I thought it was for ‘real’ artists. I was so wrong. This book is for anyone who breathes. Flora brilliantly redefines creativity as a way of seeing, choosing and being. It unlocked a part of me I didn’t know was closed.

The book was my guiding light in transforming deep sorrow into healing creativity.
