How To Live An Artful Life

FIND DAILY INSPIRATION FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR IN A JOYFUL COLLECTION OF QUOTES AND IDEAS FROM ARTISTS, BROUGHT TOGETHER BY THE FOUNDER OF THE GREAT WOMEN ARTISTS
The year ahead is a gift that has been given to you. What might you do with it?
Dive into the year with the wisdom of artists. Gathered from interviews, personal conversations, books and talks, How to Live an Artful Life moves through the months of the year offering you thoughts, reflections and encouragements from artists such as Marina Abramovic, Nan Goldin, Lubaina Himid, Louise Bourgeois and many more. With a thought for every day of the year, whether looking for beginnings in January, freedom in summer, or transformation as the nights draw in, this is a book of words to cherish. The year is full of the promise of work that has yet to be written, paintings that are yet to be painted, people who have yet to meet, talk, or fall in love. With this book in hand, pay attention, and see the world anew. Go out and find it, taste it, seize it, and live it - artfully.
