This book is about the interface of art and spirituality in everyday life. In language that is both elegant and streetwise, Creative Life presents practical means whereby any serious artist can develop greater clarity, dignity, generosity and insight. The author's reflections about the nature of "spirit" - which he defines as inspiration - affirm that art is meant to be shared. This isn't a book only for painters or musicians. Non-artists also will find Dunham's considerations, including those about wishful thinking, procrastination and life as art, to be applicable.
