550 Miles of Art and Soul Across Spain

Many pilgrims travel the Camino De Santiago to test their body and soul, but Marcia Shaver does it with a canvas in hand. In The Artists Journey, Shaver treks with a friend across the Pilgrim’s Way in Spain to challenge herself physically and mentally and makes time to sit down and draw the scene around her.

Shaver’s perspective on the pilgrimage is both unique and inspiring. She and her friend prefer to take their time on trails not only to slow down and appreciate the view around them but also to make time to draw the scenes at the end of the day. The opinion that we shouldn’t rush through our travels can easily be forgotten when we are wrapped up in seeing as much as we can in a place, but Shaver doesn’t forget. You can see all of her drawings in the pages of the book to enhance your imagination of the trek and they are awe-inspiring drawings no doubt.

This book provides a wealth of information on the Camino De Santiago for anyone interested in making the trek and if you need the motivation, Shaver faces the journey with a determination and passion that is truly admirable no matter the people she meets or the obstacles she encounters. For the author, it is a journey meant to refresh her life and refocus on the woman that she is and that is a journey worth reading about.
