Karen Hatzigeorgiou – The Art of Happiness

Excerpt from The Art of Happiness:

.

“the art of happiness
keeps its balance
small comforts
are not the same as
converting the mysterious
while the wind is calling.

The real reward of any life
is to lick the platter clean.”

Karen Hatzigeorgiou is an artist of many media and I found her altered book “The Art of Happiness” inspiring in many ways.  It is a book of  art which includes poetry, collage, color, painting, paper art, recycled art and more.

One of my favorite places on earth is the local library so how is it I have never heard of an “altered book”.    What a beautiful way to take something old and preserve it into something new and beautiful.

If you take the time to look through Karen’s book, you will see that it is part of her two and a half year journey through a period of her life as she shares with you a glimpse of her soul.
