'LIT' FUSE: PEN HELPS ILLUSTRATOR UNCOVER A SECRET WORLD

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY — For visual artist and illustrator Darcy Altaville, making daily journal entries was more than a means of coping with grief. It opened a doorway through which works of art emerged.

"It was very therapeutic, though most of the images reveal absolutely nothing about death or dying. Instead, the pages seemed to hold different "character" so to speak, each with their own stories to tell," Altaville told poetscollective.com in a featured interview.

The Manhattan-born, Pike County, PA resident shares her thoughts on the combination of words and images, the process of discovery through practice and the artistic will.
