Review was so happy to get this coloring book that I stayed up late the day it arrived, and I colored a whole page! Cristina McAllister is an extremely creative soul, with an innate sense for archetype and imagery. Her work has a flow, and one can feel the intent of what her images convey. It's joyous, expressive, relaxing, and meditative to pour even more life into her beautiful illustrations. This is first coloring book I've had since my childhood, and it brings me a sense of youthful play and endless possibility." - Joanna Rudin, Amazon.com customer "This coloring book is great! The bold black adds a great contrast. The coloring tips really add to the book and help you connect with Cristina's coloring style. She gives a title and description of each piece, so it's more than just a generic design to color." -Cindy C, Amazon.com customer About the Author I've been compelled to draw and create since I could hold a crayon, and have spent the first half of my life teaching myself how to develop that natural talent. I have worked as a professional artist and illustrator since my teens, exploring many genres and creative industries. In 2011, my amazing husband and I combined his building skills and my artistic flair to create Calliope The Wonder Wagon - a gypsy-style camper trailer and mobile work of art. Find out more about Calliope on my website: www.GypsyMystery.com. My quest to infuse this collaborative project with meaning led me to explore the fascinating world of symbolic imagery. This new direction also took me on a journey into the mystical and sacred realms, exploring spiritual traditions from around the world. These ideas sparked many art pieces intended to not only please the eye, but to inspire mindfulness, reverence and celebration. In 2014, I began exploring jewelry making and accessory design. My handmade fantasy fashion accessories can be found on my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/cristinamcallister In 2015, I discovered coloring books for adults, and a whole new world of possibilties opened up to me. I hope to continue to explore this art form and create more fun and beautiful interactive art that we can collaborate on together.
