The Great Women Artists

Dear listeners, As we enter a new month of December, I wanted to share a teaser of the audiobook of my new book, How to Live an Artful Life. https://www.waterstones.com/book/how-to-live-an-artful-life/katy-hessel/9781529155204 Here is an extract from the month of December, featuring its introduction and the first five days. Each month is based around a theme. For example, January is about seeking out ideas, February is about love, and September focuses on time. December's is joy and features thoughts, reflections, creative exercises and daily routines from the likes of Laurie Anderson, Louise Bourgeois, Yoko Ono, Judy Chicago, Faith Ringgold, and more. A time of celebration, light and beauty; a time to spend with family and take part in festivities; to relish in the delights that the gift of art can give, and to take stock in everything you’ve discovered, learnt, tried and tasted this year. As we embark on this month, before we start again in January, think of December – like art – as a gift that has been given to you, full of work yet to be written, painted, sculpted and more; people whom you have yet to meet, talk to or fall in love with.
