The Creative License: Giving Yourself Permission to Be the Artist You Truly Are

Both personal memoir and a gorgeous work of art, this book is a uniquely personal and inspiring guide to creativity.

When Danny Gregory's life was turned upside down by tragedy, he learned to cope by teaching himself to draw. The result was a complete transformation of his life, his priorities, his career, and the way he saw the world.

In handwritten chapters full of his lush watercolor illustrations, Danny now offers readers a program for reconnecting to their own creative energies, using drawing as an example. He gently instructs us in the art of allowing ourselves to fail, giving up the expectation of perfection and opening our eyes to the beauty around us. The result is the permission to express ourselves fully and take part in the creative process without fear.

Artist or not, readers of all stripes will find inspiration in this unique and beautiful book.
