good advice
a very accessible book for creative people who are either just starting out in their artistic ventures or have been artists for a long time. interesting ideas to help push any artist to help to find their voice.

If you're an artist of any kind, this is a great book to pick up when you're in a creative slump. The tips and advice given may seem simple, but it all makes sense. I liked the interview portions with other artists and i liked how diverse their voices were. Also, the book is short! Congdon gets straight to the point, which i really appreciated.

"One of the things I learned when I began making art was that there was so much more to my story than I ever realized....The boring interior life I previously related to was transformed into an inner world so intriguing to me that I couldn't contain it." p36
Half of Lisa Congdon's FIND YOUR ARTISTIC VOICE is a collection of mundane advice you can find in any creative craft manual. You know the stuff, you've seen it all before: write/practice/do art every day; keep a schedule; network and show up where interesting things are happening (gallery events, readings, and conventions); challenge yourself and look for opportunities to grow your skills. This material is boring

This book is great for people who want to get into art, and never went to school for it. I don’t think this book is helpful for active artists.
A lot of the interviews show similar themes about finding your artistic voice: practice, practice, don’t fear just do, put out the crappy work so you can get to the good stuff.
