About this title

Synopsis

"Even though there is no one definition of what constitutes art, through Halena's victorious story, we can feel the power of art to express, heal, make sense of our experiences, resolve conflict, and give us alternative ways to grow, reinvent and feel joy."

--MAUREEN LIPPE, Former Editor of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, Author of Radical Reinvention

The expressive life of painter Halena Cline, as told to Candi S. Cross, takes us from a dramatic childhood growing up with five sisters in the rolling hills of Kentucky, to champagne-soaked art binges all over the world, hard-earned solo and group exhibits, and the emotional flashpoints of escaping a cult and risking it all. Halena's tragic and triumphant experiences are documented in staggering exploration as evidenced by each of her creations. Eating Paint showcases twenty of her most astonishing works.
