"Explore with Gloria through her words, poetry, drawings and paintings the attitudes and goal- setting practices that can take your artistic dreams out of the realm of fantasy and into the realm of reality. Grow in awareness, know yourself at deeper levels, give yourself permission, and begin through drawing to gain confidence and competence in your artistic work and artistic future." Be the artist you want to be. "I Think Therefore I Art" is set up as a text book in many ways with assignments of many kinds. There are assignments aimed specifically at personal artistic recognition, acceptance and growth. Other assignments are aimed at gaining once and for all, real skills, a deeper understanding and greater confidence in your drawing, and unraveling the mysteries and the magic of perspective. These are the very things Gloria believes hold back many an artistic pursuit. The assignments have grown out of years of teaching workshops and are designed to promote growth in ones individual style and work. The first part of the book is about becoming an artist, being an artist and living the life of an artist. The second part of the book is instructional drawing and practical lessons on perspective. Here she gives assignments, exercises and shows many samples to help in these pursuits. The third part of the book is about goal setting and keeping on your personal artistic path. The book sets you to THINKING about 'good stuff' and living the good life possible when you are following your dreams and allowing those dreams to change and grow with time: Living life Artfully.

About the Author: Gloria Miller Allen is what she calls, "a lifer" - meaning she has been drawing and painting her entire life. She was born in Kansas, raised in the mid-west, and has lived in Idaho since 1974. To date, Gloria has been juried into over 55 National and International exhibits, winning her fair share of awards. She has earned signature membership in the American Watercolor Society, the Transparent Watercolor Society of America, Watercolor West, and the Northwest Watercolor Society as well as several state societies, including Idaho. Gloria has been represented in galleries around the western states for over 20 years, including galleries in Carmel, CA; Kayenta Art Village-near St. George, UT; Sedona and Scottsdale, AZ; Santa Fe and Taos, NM; Portland, Sheridan and Salishan along the Oregon coast; Bellingham, WA; and Boise and Idaho Falls, ID. Gloria teaches popular workshops around the country. She holds the self image of being a perpetual student and knows from first-hand experience that giving yourself academic studies, and thousands of hours spent at the drawing board or easel is an invaluable part of being an artist...no matter the lack of or the abundance of a formal art education. She believes art is simply a way of life for many people. In her workshops she makes no apology for pushing her students in academic studies dealing with the basics. Her workshop is very structured and is titled "Power Tools for Powerful Paintings". Gloria also has written hundreds of poems, some of which deal with the creative process and appear in "I Think Therefore I Art". Gloria's own artistic career grew slowly but steadily while raising a family, and being an active member of her community. Art was a hobby in the beginning, but grew into a career reaching in many directions. She is a life member of the Eagle Rock Art Guild in her town of Idaho Falls. She is a charter member and signature member of the Idaho Watercolor Society. She spent 10 years on the steering and building committee that saw the completion and opening of the Art Museum of Eastern Idaho. She exhibits on the national and international level. She served as Artist in Residence in Zion National Park for one glorious month in 2010. She has participated in invitational plein air painting events. She has always been a poet.
