OUR STORY

Ravenous Butterflies began in 2013 as a heartfelt expression of the positive impact that art and literature can have on our lives. It’s incredible how a tiny seed from my imagination has grown into something far-reaching and extraordinary.

As Ravenous Butterflies flourished, I realised that the solace I found in creativity was something many others were seeking, too. This inspired me to create my first book, An Apothecary of Art: To soothe your soul, which touched the hearts of thousands and became a bestseller in the US and UK.

Calm Your Mind is my much-anticipated follow-up. Its gorgeous images and text will give the reader a deep sense of inner peace and tranquillity.

By sharing beauty and wonder with you, we can connect through art and hopefully create a more compassionate world together.

Thank you for being a part of this important journey!

Review

"Feast your eyes on this picture-perfect present…"

Some books inform, others entertain, and this one seeks to lift the spirit, calm the mind and heal the soul.

Ravenous Butterflies is the online alter ego of artist Lisa Azarmi,and she set it up as a ‘virtual self-help diary, a space to post images and text that resonated with me’.

Ten years on arrives this book, which invites readers to ‘take a transformative journey to improve their mental well-being’ with ‘comforting and restorative’ words and some beautiful paintings, some of them familiar, but a lot of them new to my eyes at least.

It’s a lovely, gentle book, best experienced in your favourite armchair with a cup of tea and a packet of chocolate malted milk biscuits. There can be no higher praise.

“An Apothecary of Art - A must purchase in my opinion”

I was blown away with the arrival of my book this morning. My great great aunt is Winifred Nicholson, who was married to Ben Nicholson and who’s fathers’ art work features on the first page of this wonderful book, but who also appears in the velveteen rabbit too. Such fantastic words and also amazing to connect with ravenous butterflies after following her on Face Book for the last year. Thank you so much. You have helped me reflect so many times through your posts, also opened my mind emotionally and also visually too.

“Don't hesitate to buy it”

This has got to be the most beautiful book I have ever seen. The images, the words, the authenticity of the curator and the quality of the paper and print. It touched my heart immediately.

“Emotional feast”

I just feel better knowing that book is sitting there for a dip into anytime. True self help.

It’s so beautifully put together and evokes peaceful soothing emotions. Incredible value and great gift for those you care for.

Massive congratulations to the talented and uniquely gifted curator Lisa Azarmi.

“Beautiful Book”

I’ve been following Ravenous Butterflies on FB for some time, and was so excited to see Lisa’s work in print. After receiving my copy and immersing myself in the soothing quotes and art, I bought several more copies for family and friends. A truly special piece of art and the book itself is excellent quality too. This one is staying on the coffee table for many years to come.

“Wonderful!”

Be aware, before you start to read your new book, make sure you are sitting in a comfortable chair because you will not stop reading and admiring the art until you come to the last page of the book. I Love, Love, Loved every single page.
