The Reflective Artist

An artist needs time to reflect. This is a basic practice of being an artist. Reflection gives us time to pause, to rest, to recover from our work and the other things that are going on in our lives. How we choose to reflect will be unique to each one of us. No two artists are the same and we all need different ways to pause at different times of our lives. There are many ways to reflect. We can go to a new place or we can simply be still wherever we are. Being still is at the heart of reflection. Nature, art galleries, bookshops, music and many other resources can aid our reflection. This book aims to be a friendly guide to artists to help them to process their work and their life. Sometimes this isn't so easy as many of us know. But the practice of reflection is our ally in this effort. Let us learn to benefit from being still and being led from within. May we become artists and people who flourish in life and help others to do the same. Sophie Rose Peters is an artist and writer who writes under a pen-name.
