Living and Sustaining a Creative Life Louden Sharon
In this day and age, when art has become more of a commodity and art school graduates are convinced that they can only make a living from their work by attaining gallery representation, it is more important than ever to show the reality of how a professional contemporary artist sustains a creative practice over time. Each story is unique, but the common thread is an ongoing commitment to creativity, inside and outside the studio. The forty essays collected in Living and Sustaining a Creative Life are written in the artists' own voices and take the form of narratives, statements, and interviews.
These stories will inform and inspire any student, young artist, and art enthusiast and will help redefine what "success" means to a professional artist. 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.
