I am the author of more than a dozen published books ranging from fiction\/fantasy to poetry and non-fiction, many of which I have illustrated. It has been my pleasure to have written and lectured extensively on the subjects of creativity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meet Ellen Palestrant, who is bringing her creativity
