Being an artist can be the most enchanting life imaginable – and the most tormenting. Finding your way to your own creative universe is an extraordinary and infinitely surprising journey. Still, every artist falters at some point. Call it what you will: blocks, obstacles, hitting the wall, tossing your painting into the ocean, or shredding your manuscript – we have all stumbled, we have all shut down. Based on the concept that creativity is unique to each individual, The Art of Becoming an Artist is designed to help artists discover the myriad, astonishing factors – social, educational, political, psychological, and personal history – that both enhance and interfere with our creativity. There is no “right” way to get to one’s art. There is only YOUR way. Finding that way is every artist’s goal. Using safe, gentle, revealing techniques to aid readers’ self-examination, The Art of Becoming an Artist produces epiphany after epiphany as it guides artists into shedding the restraints that are shutting them down. Artists of any stripe will find hope, excitement, and joy in this compassionate but thrilling process.

"A misunderstood, eighteenth century poet, a twentieth century homeless girl, weird maths, imaginary dragons and a hidden Paris - it all comes together in this remarkable book about how we create lasting fulfillment and flourish." --Dee Reinert, Editor Have you ever felt that life goes on, circumstances and people change, good things show up, and yet something is still missing? The Portuguese have a word for that; they call it saudade. Saudade describes a feeling of melancholy or nostalgia for something that hasn't even happened yet. It's the strange sensation that something is lacking in your life but you're not sure what the elusive, missing piece is. You're just not quite fulfilled. As a teenager, Dana Hutton ran away from home to escape the oppression of fundamentalist religion and a toxic, sometimes abusive home life. Passing through a period of homelessness, poverty, and violence drove her within herself and set her at odds with the world. When she experienced a moment of unexpected transcendent awareness at the tender age of eighteen, her perception of life and Self was permanently altered by something that she didn't yet understand or know how to fully integrate. The choices of her youth set her on a path that led her across the Atlantic and around the world on a quest for truth, Self, and the key to human fulfillment. She found that key and now shares her journey and insights with others in this unique book. This book explores the Art of Becoming: our inherent ability to awaken and transform, and our need, both individually and collectively, to find a deep, abiding sense of fulfillment in the world. Fulfillment and flourishing are part of the Great Work. If you feel that fulfillment is lacking in your life, or if you're still looking for meaning, purpose, and inner peace, this book is for you. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dana Hutton is a trilingual author, artist, professional trainer, ontological coach and consultant who has traveled much of the world and has lived in several countries. She specializes in human-systems and organizational design for organizations that are committed to putting people before profit and creating a People-First culture. "Mrs. Hutton writes from the heart and with great clarity about her journey and the human condition at large. She shares a timeless message: we are all in this together, all pain can be transmuted, and we can create a world in which humans flourish, thrive, and love.
