Meet artist and educator Mary Whyte and pick up a copy of her new book during Artista Vista. During her fifty years as an artist and teacher, Mary Whyte has discovered that tapping our personal well of creativity and passion is the most important lesson much more so than how to paint an eye, clouds, or steam. In An Artist's Life, Whyte guides art makers and art lovers past stifling obstacles and self-doubts to see the world with fresh eyes and create their most original and expressive work. A touchstone for developing the habits we need to live our most creative, inspired, and meaningful life, this is a transformative lifelong art lesson that artists of all kinds, as well as non-artists seeking a more creative and fulfilling life, will return to again and again. The book includes seventy of Whyte's acclaimed portraits and new, never-before-seen works. "An Artist's Life is a lovely memoir, as poetic as it is painterly, disguised as a how-to book . . . how to live the fierce, brave life of an artist. "Martha Teichner, author and longtime correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning "In her new book, Mary Whyte concentrates on the most important thing she believes a teacher can do open a door. An Artist's Life is an enjoyable read for collectors while challenging artists to up their creative game and 'BRING IT!'"¿Seth Hopkins, executive director, Booth Western Art Museum "A guidebook for how to heighten expression, nurture creativity, face criticism, commit to the work, and go boldly into the world . . . An Artist's Life is illuminating, wise, and wonderful. If I'd allowed myself to use a highlighter pen, these pages would be a sea of yellow ink.
