Art Makes Magic: Keys to Imagining a Creative Life from My Fairy Art Mother is a powerful guide to the many ways that creativity takes shape. The unique collaborative format, combined with the strength of Andrea Holmes and Beth Field's personal perspectives as working artists, makes Art Makes Magic an indispensable guide for those who long to launch as artists but lack the confidence to heed that call.
Andrea and Beth offer real life experience with much needed encouragement and affirmation to artists and creatives at every point in their path. This book amplifies the voice of two artists currently in the trenches, reporting with clarity a wealth of practical information that is currently missing from the marketplace.
Art Makes Magic tackles common topics of consideration like getting started as a working artist, studio spaces, materials, mentorship, learning, collaboration, and conquering fear. The format allows Andrea and Beth to combine their voices to offer concrete advice and inspiring reflections followed by their individual experiences that help creatives see the widely varying paths for those who choose to launch their creative efforts into the larger world.
Andrea is the artist who painted the mural on the east exterior wall of Meade*Norman & Bayless Insurance Building located at 110 W. 5th Street in Bonham.
Art Makes Magic includes both practical advice and inspiring perspectives on why a commitment to artistic expression is worth the risks that come with taking the flying leap and landing in a place of creative freedom.
