What music whispers through the trees in the background…?     \t      \t Behind the Black \tis the true story of an artist and her struggle to look deep into the lost chronicles of the human spirit to search for what drives us most. From finding \ther way out of a darkly destructive alcohol addiction to the search for a soul mate, Colleen holds nothing back-baring her soul and utter truth to the \tcore, conveying an artist's view of creativity and its very source, down to the elements that make up the world we live in.     \tOn the road to becoming a professional artist, Colleen almost lost her studio and home after an ill-fated business deal with a couple of big bad wolves. \tYet she survived to tell the tale, traveling the world on a block of ice, slaying dragons and kissing frogs. Behind the Black is filled with \tintriguing true-life characters as a lifetime of experiences magically transform into works of art, all explained in intimate detail.     \t\"We are the artists of our own worlds, but everyone has a paintbrush, and the canvas is left to unfold and transform…,\" writes the author.     \t      Behind the Black  \tleads you to see through the darkness in a land where you'll confront your own dragons and find miracles. Pay no attention to big bad wolves, and listen \tclosely to little burnt marshmallow-looking minions, for it is always what lies within that matters most.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 ~ DRAGON’S BREATH         • The Battle Inside         Chapter 2 ~ THE LITTLE GIRL         • The Little Girl         Chapter 3 ~ THE SCIENCE OF ADDICTION         • Puppet         Chapter 4 ~ BUTTERFLIES AND HURRICANES         • Playground Prayers and Valentine’s Day Wishes         • Silence         • A Lesson from India         Chapter 5 ~ LOVE AND FEAR         • The Opposites         • Rivers of Love         • The Evolution of Love         • Soul Mates and the Abyss         Chapter 6 ~ KISSED THE WRONG FROG         • A Love for Frogs         • Brand New Day         • Aura of a Brand New Day         Chapter 7 ~ ESCAPE ARTIST         • The Dark Side of Escape         • Danny         • Lifelight         Chapter 8 ~ BURNT MARSHMALLOWS         Chapter 9~AN ARTIST’S EDUCATION         • Curious         • Odd Jobs         • A Love for Books Nearly Got Me Shot         • Art store clerk University (ASCU)         • Behind the Mask         Chapter 10 ~ SCULPTURE         • Playing the Market         • Magical Pink Clay         • The Fall         • Chainsaws and Ice         • Bloody Valentine         • No Plans, Just Travel         • An Act of Valor         • The Cantine Clan         • Italy         • Eggsistence         • My First Bronze         Chapter 11 ~ I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES, I DO...
