My name is Dominique Atkinson. For as long as I can remember, I've always loved the act of creation, a love that eventually led me to graduate from college with a Bachelor's degree in fine art. Now, I teach art for a living, both to school children and interested adults. My friends call me a "free spirit" because I have so many passions! I've always felt a mystical connection between my artwork, my teachings, and my soul. This feeling has inspired my study of world religions and history. I've read and admired the works of masters in many traditions, belief systems, and time periods. Learning from their words, I work to create books that will promote complete, holistic wellness in your body, mind, and soul. Whether I'm helping people find inner peace through the practices of Buddhism, the awareness-building power and fitness benefits of Yoga, or the soothing and healing power of essential oils, writing allows me to connect with people around the world and share my transcendent experiences and spiritual journeys. My goal is to help people to heal themselves and discover a deep passion for life--just as I have--by encouraging them to seek out new spiritual, creative, and healing experiences. I aspire to create instructional books are fun, simple-to-follow, and provide a wealth of knowledge. My books and lessons have helped many of my students discover their own latent talents, and I hope you will enjoy the process of developing your own creative flair and "artist's eye" as much as I have! Thanks and best of luck!! Dominique Atkinson
