Publisher's Synopsis
So you came to this great, strange planet with a mission - to create, from a hidden place deep inside you, something that will make the world a better place. And you are deep into it, but you are somehow stuck.
Creative Flow Teacher, Artist, Designer, and Author Douglas Paul Smith shows us how to thrive as an artist in a world that sometimes, mysteriously, doesn't seem to value an artist's creativity, or know why art forms even exist. The Infinite Artist is insight and inspiration for taking the leap into becoming the artist we were born to be. It illumines the essential inner and outer steps for exploring our innate capacity for creative authenticity and genius. As both spiritual guide and practical advice, it gives access to a place in ourselves that is powerfully creative and deeply healing - a fresh insight into the human potential for artistic expression. What's Inside: - A Comprehensive Guide for diving deep into the creative process - and the necessary steps for living successfully as an artist in the 21st century.- Effective methods for bringing your art to a level you feel good about, how to sell your work, how to stay in FLOW, and how to keep your art PASSIONATE and PURE, never giving in to the demands of the ever-changing art market.
- The Truth about why you may not be able to make art that you like - what's really going on under the surface of your ice-berg sized blocks. Douglas Paul Smith is the founder of Divine Creativity Productions and the Artist Coach, empowering artists to reach personal success through their creative process. As a life-long Visual Fine Artist, Designer and Contemplative Arts Instructor, Douglas has taught and coached artists and meditators across the globe for a decade. Originally from Ohio, he currently lives and works in Southern California.
