In Complete Art & Soul: To Arouse, To Excite, To Inspire, Roxsane K. Tiernan brings together poetry and original visual art shaped by a lifetime of curiosity, travel, teaching, and human connection.
Her poems explore the joy of a spring morning, the lessons found in difficult times, the importance of family and friendship, and the courage it takes to keep moving forward. Through reflections on love, loss, gratitude, and personal growth, she encourages readers to appreciate the little moments that make life meaningful.
Accompanying the poetry are colorful artworks inspired by nature, familiar places, and journeys around the world. Drawing on chigiri-e, the Japanese art of torn paper collage, along with acrylic painting and mixed-media techniques, Tiernan creates images that bring another dimension to her words.
Some pages offer quiet moments of reflection, while others encourage readers to question, explore, and see life from a different perspective.
For poetry lovers, art enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates thoughtful words and beautiful imagery, Complete Art & Soul is an invitation to discover the beauty and possibilities found in everyday life.
