PAINTING CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE : HOW AND WHY WE PAINT

Painting Can Save Your Life, published by TarcherPerigee/Penguin Random House in July 2022, is both a painting how to and a memoir, it is what might happen if Bird by Bird and Joy of Painting had a baby. Weaving soup-to-nuts instruction on how to paint—from choosing the right materials to painting the human body—with the story of discovering a passion for painting, this book includes:

  • simple and easy techniques for painters of all skill levels

  • playful and challenging painting exercises

  • tips on how to build a creative community using art

  • insights on how to use painting to cultivate a sense of calm in a stressful world


Part how-to-paint, part sheer inspiration, Painting Can Save Your Life is an ode to the transformative power of painting.
