NEW BOOK! How To Live An Artful Life
A new book for November 2025...
Dear Readers, I am very excited to announce that I have written a new book!
How To Live An Artful Life: 366 Inspirations from Artists on how to Bring Creativity to Your Everyday | Pre-order your copy now!
Gathered from 10+ years of interviews, personal conversations, talks, and historic archives, How to Live an Artful Life moves through every day of the year offering its reader thoughts, reflections and encouragements from artists, writers, thinkers, makers.
Including: Tracey Emin, Marina Abramović, Lubaina Himid, Louise Bourgeois, Alice Neel, Ali Smith, Rachel Whiteread, Jenny Saville, Sonia Boyce, Deborah Levy, Paula Rego, Leonora Carrington, Zadie Smith, Iris Murdoch, Lina Bo Bardi, Edmund de Waal, Hilton Als, Ruth Asawa, Yayoi Kusama, Es Devlin, Guerrilla Girls, Barbara Kruger, Judy Chicago, Kara Walker, Elif Shafak, Jerry Saltz, Marina Warner, Tove Jansson, and so many more.
Each day features a quote or passage by the artist, which I respond to and expand on who the artist is (and sometimes provide an artwork). Each month offers a different theme, from looking for beginnings in January, love and passion for February, freedom in summer, beauty in August, transformation as the nights draw in, and joy in December.
Because in a world where it's difficult to really "look" anymore, we need to learn from those who do!
The year is full of the promise of work that has yet to be written, paintings that are yet to be painted, people who have yet to meet, talk, or fall in love. With this book in hand, pay attention, and see the world anew. Go out and find it, taste it, seize it, and live it – artfully.
