This is not your typical how-to guide. Instead, you will be taken on a journey deep within the soul of the artist. Much like an archeological dig, this book goes below the surface to uncover the inner workings of the creative mind. Imagine that you have been invited to have an intimate discussion with all of your favorite artists: a one-on-one show and tell. You can ask them anything, no holds barred, and hear first-hand the personal stories behind their artwork. This is what you will find on the pages of this book.
“The Pulse of Mixed Media” grew out of my online artist survey “The Pulse.” In the book, 31 spotlight artists and 102 additional contributors generously share their most intimate thoughts and feelings by providing answers to a series of personal questions. Some of these questions focus on their art, for example the art material they could not live without and the messages they hide in their artwork. Other questions focus on the artist, such as their art-related regrets, the obstacles that they have faced, and the one person in their life with the most creative impact.
But what is an art book without art? You will also find new artwork created by the artists in response to a series of prompts. See how they use their artwork to express anger, passion, and vulnerability. Find out about the artists’ obsessions, secrets, and fears. Discover how they see themselves in their self-portraits. Each artist reveals the personal meaning behind each work of art, bringing your understanding and appreciation of the work to a deeper level.
Join me and all the artists on an adventure that will make you a true art insider. Tap into the zeitgeist of social media and reality television, where people bare their thoughts and share their innermost selves. After reading this book, you may never look at art or the artist the same way again. It’s time to take “The Pulse of Mixed Media.””
