Living and Sustaining a Creative Life - Essays by 40 Working Artists

The 40 essays collected here in Living and Sustaining a Creative Life are written in the artists' own voices and take the form of narratives, statements and interviews.

Both day-to-day and Big Picture details are revealed, showing how it is possible to sustain a creative practice that contributes to the ongoing dialogue in contemporary art. These stories will inform and inspire any student, young artist and art enthusiast, and will help redefine what 'success' means to a professional artist.
