An artist's unique voice is their calling card. It's what makes each of their works vital and particular. But developing such singular artistry requires effort and persistence. Bestselling author, artist, and illustrator Lisa Congdon brings her expertise to this guide to the process of artistic self-discovery. Featuring advice from Congdon herself and interviews with a roster of established artists, illustrators, and creatives, this one-of-a-kind book will show readers how to identify and nurture their own visual identity, navigate the influence of artists they admire, push through fear and insecurity, and appreciate the value of their personal journey.

I love Lisa Congdon's art and I needed a book written by someone sharing my name for a book challenge. This is a nice collection of interviews with contemporary artists about establishing voice in work. The advice is fairly straight forward. Practice a lot and keep making art even if you feel like your art sucks. It's 100% true, and I wish I'd stuck with it when I was younger.
I can't say that there was anything truly profound but I am not that young and if I were a young person starting out in the art world I think there's a lot that could be taken from this. It's very encouraging and the art world can be tough, so props for that.
