A Relaxing Escape Into Art

Solace in Art is a compilation of essays on 52 works of art by artists throughout the centuries that have touched my very core for a variety of reasons. The majority of works I have seen on multiple occasions, others I’ve studied from afar. Each work is meant to be pondered, to be contemplated…to be enjoyed. Read one essay each week of the year, or all in one sitting, however you wish. Let each work take you out of your head and into heart and soul, if only for a moment. Simply reflect, read, and listen to your heart.

 -what Readers are Saying-

"Betty Ann Hoehn's book is a thoughtful look at art history through a different lens. She helps the reader to experience these beautiful works of art, some well known, some more obscure, by encouraging you to view them through your own thoughts and feelings. She avoids dry art history prose and instead guides you through the artworks with insightful contemplation in mind, sharing her own thoughts and feelings along the way. A delightful read."

“The author’s essays have opened up a whole new level of appreciation and understanding of artists’ messages about their creations. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone but especially to those, like me, who have always felt like an outsider in the art world.”

“The author’s knowledge of art history blended with her personal thoughts on each work of art is stirring! I had never looked at art in this way!”
