Summary: Over-rated
Review: Perhaps it is my age but I find this loose art unattractive. The book made me dizzy, not something I want in a book on art.

Summary: Bless the mess!
Review: Sabrina Ward Harrison articulates for me what i couldn't express for myself then. It is fascinating to see her creativity developing at a young age and to just get a glimpse of her depth and ingenuity. It just so happened I was also reading a book by Anne Lamott at the time I was reading Sabrina's book - she refers to Lamott a few times in her book - and what an experience to be validated in such a powerful way by two very different women, leading very different lives. Inspiring!

Summary: A vibrant use of colors, a beautiful exploration of spirit
Review: Sabrina Ward Harrison has written a beautiful first book which will resonate with girls and women of many ages. The brilliant color she uses in her artwork expresses the joy and richness of life, even as she looks at her own confusions, insecurities, and explorations. This book reminded me wisdom of young women who can not yet appreciate their own incredible rich beauty. I bought this book for my pre-teen daughter who is beginning the struggle for self-acceptance and appreciation. I also bought it for my oldest friend to remind us of how we were...and still are. Thank you Ms. Harrison for Spillling Open.

Summary: A visual feast with poetic pros for the heart & soul
Review: Sabrina Ward Harrison is an ancient spirit who is in touch with her "Creator-ness." She spills into our world--my life and yours--with candid reflections of a life being lived NOW. Her visual feast is unlike anything we have ever seen. Thanks to SARK and New World Library for finding and sharing this rich, full, magnmificent young woman! SPILLING OPEN is not only a book you cannot put down, it is one you will return to often--keep it close by. Wish they'd used the original cover.
