An Apothecary of Art is the beautiful debut collection from Ravenous Butterflies featuring 80 exquisite works of art from the likes of John William Waterhouse, Henri Rousseau and Rockwell Kent with accompanying quotes from voices including Sappho, Pablo Neruda and Harriet Tubman. The thoughtfully designed combinations of word and image are beautiful, uplifting and healing. In many ways, it is a curated expression of Lisa's own journey that resonates with so many. The contents page is artfully divided into twelve emotional journeys that suggest routes in which to navigate the book to evoke different feelings and offer tailored guidance. The Ravenous Butterflies community provides a haven of escape and well-being. The art is not always the most obvious and the words, often hidden gems of wisdom. However, a biographical section on the featured artists will provide context on your new favourite finds. This illumination of the power of art feels modern yet still timelessly beautiful.

Lisa Azarmi - creator of Ravenous Butterflies - is a practising artist, journalist and poet and believes that art is not just a luxury for the few but has universal power to sustain positive mental health. She has proved that with Ravenous Butterflies and with her much anticipated book, An Apothecary of Art.
