Vanessa hosted her weekly Art as Worship radio show from January 2012 through mid-May 2013. Over 70 artists were interviewed as research for her upcoming book, Art as Worship: Inspiration and Creativity as Spiritual Expression, anticipated for publication in 2015. Readers will be encouraged to create a deeper connection to Spirit while getting their own expression of art into the world.
