Under the Crescent Moon, a limited-edition book, is a compilation of artwork and writing by Rev. Sarah Shepley after the loss of her husband in March of 2020. Her twice daily practice of painting and collage in what she calls her “Grief Journals” allowed her to enter a portal of deep understanding and to experience a map of her journey through grief and transformation. Her book is available on her website and 50% of the proceeds go toward her arts ministry project in Ecuador, the Ecuadorian Arts Initiative. sarahshepley.com/under-the-crescent-moon
Sarah is an interfaith minister, artist, and educator. She founded the Ecuadorian Arts Initiative in 2016. The project brings art to children throughout Ecuador in orphanages, after school programs, and schools. For more information visit www.sarahshepley.com
