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. 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. Each story is different and unique, but the
common thread is an ongoing commitment to creativity, inside and
outside the studio. 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.
