"Year of Water Dragon's Return"
Volume III in the "All Our Relations" art & verse book series.
Year of Water Dragon's Return
The third volume in Asante’s “All Our Relations Series” is a creative celebration through art & verse of Earth’s interwoven web of life, the magic of which we all innately are. Born during the year of the Water Dragon, this book features Asante’s original fine art and accompanying verse created during the return of the Water Dragon year, six decades later. Sourcing from dreams & visions, spirit & nature, Asante’s art and poetry emerge with fresh inspiration and insight on our evolving journeys as creative spiritual beings.
