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 40 essays collected here in Living and Sustaining a Creative Life are written in the artistsrsquo; 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 lsquo;successrsquo; means to a professional artist.
