Darkness to Light

About the Book

    "It is a rare and revealing event for sure when a person in need can gain access to a healing message provided through the medium of art. In From Darkness to Light, Dorothy Tesser reached into the well of her own personal tragedy to convey a form of therapy that generates profound and impressive insight. This insight leaps off the pages of her brilliant artwork and becomes an element transformed by our own powers to create a healing touch from Tesser's creativity. Each drawing and painting hold infinite potential for interpretation and therapeutic prowess.
    As a specialist in Rehabilitation Medicine, I have had the face-to-face opportunity to see Dorothy's work in action. Each time a patient or struggling soul derives healing nourishment or illumination from her method of treatment, it sends a chilling message to the world that healing can be synonymous with beauty and powered by both imagination and unique experiences.
    Teachers, students, health professionals, patients, and a host of interdisciplinary allied fields will benefit from this monumental gift of healing through art."
