Touching Quiet: Reflections in Solitude

In Touching Quiet: Reflections In Solitude, Mindy Weisel combines twenty-four of her remarkable paintings with her reflections and personal journal entries. Both her art and her contemplations were brought forth during her one month stat at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. Very highly recommended, Touching Quiet will result both visually and philosophically to serve as inspiration for anyone seeking nurture for their spirit, creativity for their mind, and harmony in their life.

this books is such a gem. the reproductions of the paintings are very nicely done, and Ms. Weisel's writing is graceful. I recommend it heartily; you will want to pass it on to everyone you know!

Mindy Weisel has managed to reach that place inside each of us where beauty resides and grows. Her journal gives an insight into the mind and heart of a perpetually busy woman who while at first stunned by silence, later finds the latent joy in celebrating who she is and can be.The paintings add a depth to the journal unequaled in print today, and make me wish I had the money to buy an original of each one!Thank you Mindy for such a glorious escape and discovery!

Mindy Weisel's book is both beautiful and inspiring. The paintings are gorgeous, and each time you look at them you see a new meaning. But most of all what I took away from this book is that we shouldn't be afraid to take a moment or two for ourselves and do the things we enjoy. A must read for anyone who is stressed out, or just looking for a few moments of beauty.

Mindy Weisel's Touching Quiet is a soothing journal of one woman's experience with sudden solitude and quiet. After being awarded a fellowship to paint for a month without interruption, Ms. Weisel discovered that not only was solitude and quiet welcome, it was also a bit frightening. Each of the fourteen paintings, beautifully reproduced in the book, draw the reader into the stillness, the beauty, and at times the struggle of "touching quiet."
