A fresh and eye-catching book of useful, expert-led prompts and practices for artistically inclined women who seek to live and create with balance and total freedom.
It's no secret that the journey of an artistic soul can feel uncertain, lonely, and confusing. Whether you're an artist, a writer, or you express your creativity in other ways, you deserve the companionship, guidance, and understanding of someone who has successfully explored the path of creativity. In The Creative Call, artist, designer, and mentor Andrea Pippins invites you to discover how to answer your creative call in the right ways for you.
How do you balance your everyday obligations with your need for artistic time and expression? How do you navigate creative ruts? And, if you're a person of color in a world that often overlooks those stories, where do you go to feed your creative soul? The Creative Call will help you find solutions that align with the vision for your creative path.
Midway through her career, Pippins was successful but didn't feel satisfied. She began what has been a decades-long examination of what inspires art and contributes to healthy life balance--and what stands in its way. Compiling her findings, Pippins shares a wealth of tools here, using her bold artwork to decorate this collection of insightful advice, helpful rituals, and relatable stories that will help you discover new parts of yourself and manifest your creative dreams.
As you explore your own artistic journey, keep this book close by for daily inspiration or to ignite your creativity in new ways. Whether you are looking for a new beginning, an encouraging tool, or a comforting voice, The Creative Call will help you live and create with more purpose, curiosity and, most of all, joy.
