New Book Offers Inspirational Art and Essays

From where does creativity come? Through images and essays, author Susan Lukas explores this question with spiritual insights and “how to” techniques for photographers and Photoshop users.. She prompts readers to reach for the stars and never give up. Find inspirational art and essays that celebrate nature and art as the spiritual connection we all have in Naturally, She’s Dreaming. Combining 32 of her dreamy digital collages with inspirational essays, she created a book that is somewhere between heaven and earth. It is grounded with practical tips while talking about angels/guides and God’s presence.

Susan Lukas has been a professional photographer and graphic designer since 1978. Her digital images evolved out of a combination of both disciplines and use her artistic sensibilities in a new medium. When she is at the computer she’s not always sure how an image will turn out. Like a jazz musician who improvises with music, she invents new images with her original photos and Photoshop. She likes the creative freedom that the computer has given her work. It’s a tool that has provided her with challenges and pleasure as she pursues her artistic goals.

A Wisconsin native, Susan started exhibiting at art shows in Wisconsin and Illinois in 1988 and has won many awards for her work. In 1998, she designed and successfully sold a poster called Wisconsin ABCs for the state’s sesquicentennial celebration. It was also her 10th year exhibiting her work through Window to Wisconsin, her business.

Susan has taught photography to adults in metro Milwaukee since 2003: first at Oak Creek/Franklin Community Education for many years, then one on one to adults. Susan Lukas wrote this book as a way to help others while helping herself. As she taught photography, she learned from her students. Her own photography skills improved and were reinforced. With Naturally, She’s Dreaming, she wishes to do the same. This book can remind herself and others of God’s love and presence. We are souls first living a human experience. Celebrate nature and art as the spiritual connection we all have.  She teaches at various locations in the metro Milwaukee area.
