Last January, author Patti Digh put out a call for the submission of artwork for her newest book “Four Word Self Help – Simple Wisdom for Complex Lives”. At the time, I was staying in a small Mexican town with very intermittent internet access and no art supplies to speak of so I pulled up this digital piece that I had done several years ago from the depths of my hard drive and sent it off. Saying I “sent it off” sounds deceptively easy but it actually took almost a week to get both a fax and the hi-res file to the publisher. I was not only surprised that they actually received it but happily so, that it was also accepted!
Last week I received a copy of the book in the mail and found my art paired with Patti’s essay “Live Like You’re Dying”. It’s a beautiful little book filled with oodles of lovely creative work by many artists from around the world. It was as much a thrill to see my work here as it was to be included in her first book “Life Is a Verb'”.
If you’ve never visited Patti’s Blog…37 days, it’s a gold mine of beautifully written gems and well worth a visit!
