Artist Terry Marks-Tarlow, PhD celebrates her new coloring book, hot off the press! Unlike other coloring books, this one is a true mindfulness tool that guides our journey into self-reflection, self-expression, creativity, and relaxation.
“After decades of experience as a clinical psychologist and artist, I’ve designed a tool that allows us to have fun as we transform, heal and grow. The book features creative images and is organized into chapters that facilitate diverse states of mind. Great for airplane rides, retreats, hospital stays, and other reflective moments in life or times when we crave guidance for self-expression!

La Luz de Jesus Gallery hosts a book signing, and reading of Chris Morris, Together Through Life: A Personal Journey with the Music of Bob Dylan this afternoon.
Veteran journalist and critic Chris Morris looks back at his intense half-century-long relationship with the music of Bob Dylan, viewing the role the singer-songwriter’s work has played in his own life. A candid album-by-album exploration of Dylan’s catalog through 2016’s “Fallen Angels” examines the powerful personal impact of the musician’s art.
Here, Dylan’s music is explored album by album, from his 1962 debut as a folksinger to his 2015-16 explorations of the Classic American songbook; the creative highs and lows of his entire 37-title discography are examined.
But Morris’ take on Dylan’s music doesn’t merely weigh the quality of the work – it reveals how a gifted artist’s creations have the power to engage, incite, alter, and even rescue a listener over the course of a lifetime. Together Through Life occupies a unique space in the vast bibliography of Bob Dylan books.
