Abstract
This bibliography is a collection of websites and artist links based on compassion and stewardship through art guided by identity. The artists detailed are ones that dissect the topics of cultural and global identity as well as personal relationships. The artwork is a reflection of their individual lives and often the artist closely relates to the concepts of tolerance and compassion. Art therapy and personal development begins with creating a better situation for those in need. The global websites reflect community groups, businesses, and organizations that already use personal reflection and stewardship as an effective tool in their mission.
