In Travels with the Muse, Lori Erickson sets out on a series of journeys to explore how different art forms can deepen our connection to spirituality. From architecture in Barcelona to quilting in Nebraska and music along the Mississippi Blues Trail, each chapter focuses on a specific art form, bringing together travel narrative, artist encounters, and cultural context.
Along the way, Erickson takes up sketching, using it not just to record what she sees, but to enter more fully into the spirit of each place.
Woven from travel, conversations, and reflection, Travels with the Muse shows how art can become a natural companion on any journey—and a doorway into the sacred within it.
