You Are An Artist

Aurélia Durand shares her path from art school to internationally recognized artist, and how you can start your creative journey. Aurélia Durand has been published in The New Yorker, worked with massive brands, and illustrated the #1 New York Times Bestseller This Book Is Anti-Racist, so she knows a thing or two about honing her craft, challenging herself, and making dreams come true. Inspired by questions she is regularly asked, she shares how she did it, the lessons she and her artist friends have learned along the way, and how you can do it too. Each chapter explores a different area of creativity and brand building, from developing your creative vision and creating a portfolio of work to using social media to your advantage and how to build a sustainable business. If you've ever wanted to know how to find your style and build your brand but didn't know who to ask, Aurélia's got you covered.
