Celebrating Life Through the Arts: The Inspirational Journey of Dressler Smith

Dressler Smith is a nationally-acclaimed American artist whose unique works on paper and stained glass touch the human spirit. Ms. Smith uses vibrant color pastels to capture morning skies, tranquil landscapes, and universal themes with exceptionally gifted artistic skill and aesthetic sensibility as demonstrated in this highly anticipated book.

From the vantage point of Dr. Silas M. Townsend, who provides a foreword, "As one who has been deeply moved by the message of Dressler's work as well as her life narrative...this window into her life will inspire a greater understanding of the spiritual truths that are the foundation of life, work, and message. Ultimately, as with her art, you will take away truths that transform."

Ms. Smith's many honors and awards include the Applause Award from the Markheim Art Center in Haddonfield, NJ, the Candace Award from the Coalition of 100 Black Women, the Chisholm Award from the Philadelphia Congress of the National Political Congress of Black Women, and feature publication in the May 2001 issue of Essence Magazine.
