Here the author of the bestseller Drawing On the Right Side of the Brain tells how to use drawing to tap into the unique powers of the dual brain function for enhancing creativity, imagination, problem solving, and more. She shares how she became interested in art and how visual imaging can contribute to the thinking process. The capacity to create is within everyone, according to Edwards, and she provides a wealth of insight for everyone interested in creative problem solving and innovative thinking.
