Shoppes Spotlight



Behind the Studio Door

Artist: cj Madigan

How do some people manage to sustain a rich creative practice while others flounder in a state of 'if only' and 'someday' -- never actually getting to their studio or writing table? Behind the Studio Door weaves together conversations with accomplished artists and writers who candidly discuss the challenges that face anyone struggling to integrate creative practice into real life:

* How to balance family and other responsibilities with a creative practice * How to handle the ongoing tension between solitude and community * How to schedule time * How to arrange space

The book itself is an artist’s delight. The textural Kraft paper, hand-grommeted museum board cover, wire binding, and comfortable size make it feel like an artist’s sketch book. Wirebound hardcover, 140 pages. Available with cj’s autograph or an inscription.
