LET DON CONROY'S LOVE FOR ART BE THE INSPIRATION TO UNLOCK YOUR OWN CREATIVITY!Whether it's writing a few lines in a journal, cooking, reading something inspiring or simply going for a walk in nature, creative potential is all around you. Awakening your own creative potential can liberate you and make you more enthusiastic about life; you become a participant, not just an observer. Creative expression will expand beyond just you and will create a positive and fulfilling experience for all those around you. The Artist Within is all about encouraging the reader to reconnect with their artistic self. Much-loved artist and writer Don Conroy shows the reader how to do this by illustrating what he's learned from a lifelong creative practice, providing encouragement and inspiration. Enriched with amusing anecdotes from Don's life, this beautiful gift will inspire a life-long love of creativity.
