So I started a book A Big Important Art Book (Now with Women): Profiles of Unstoppable Female Artists--and Projects to Help You Become One by Daniel Krysa
This book celebrates 45 women artists, and encourages readers to gain inspiration for their own practice, this beautiful exploration of contemporary creators is from the founder of The Jealous Curator.
Why did I start this book ? Well this year I had promised myself to go deeper into art history specifically female artists.But between moving countries, a day job, being a mum and making art has been quite a task to keep up .
So as I was searching up to study women artists I came across this book not only enriched in history, but also with some lovely current new age artists.And honestly what could be better, I purchased it only to find something special- along with deep learning of artists this book has a project to take up in every chapter.
And one thing led to another , I started documenting this project on Pinterest with links to all the wonderful ladies , a way to document them and keep them alive in my inspiration library.Here on my blog I intend to work on each of the projects and keep them updated .
What do I aim to get from all this ? To be honest lots of inspiration and creative impetus. I want to learn about female artists across the field of art living and not, I want to learn their stories, what inspired them- find similarities and differences. I want to know of those who started later in life like me and those that were born prodigies . In the process I also want to love my story and share it unapologetically .
Maybe this project is only about me finding myself, maybe it has nothing to do with these artists, I am not sure. Maybe you will find this and it will interest you , maybe not .
If you have reached until here and it interests , lets let’s get started!!
