Join us for an author talk with Mary Whyte and find out how to tap into your creativity as detailed in her new book, An Artist's Life: Unlocking Creative Expression.

During her fifty years as an artist and teacher, Mary Whyte has discovered that tapping our personal well of creativity and passion is the most important lesson—much more so than how to paint an eye, clouds, or steam. In An Artist's Life, Whyte guides art makers and art lovers past stifling obstacles and self-doubts to see the world with fresh eyes and create their most original and expressive work. A touchstone for developing the habits we need to live our most creative, inspired, and meaningful life, this is a transformative lifelong art lesson that artists of all kinds, as well as non-artists seeking a more creative and fulfilling life, will return to again and again. The book includes seventy of Whyte's acclaimed portraits and new, never-before-seen works.

Mary Whyte is an internationally recognized watercolor artist and author of numerous books, including We the People: Portraits of Veterans in America. She has been awarded the Portrait Society of America's Gold Medal and the National Daughters of the American Revolution Medal of Honor. She lives near Charleston, South Carolina.

Books will be available for purchase and signing.
