The Artist's Way

my music and my books. A true friend, not only to my
creativity but also to my dreams and desires. We met
through The Artist’s Way and my musical Avalon, and have
enjoyed combining our Artist’s Ways as musical
collaborators over the last four years.
Susan Schulman, with gratitude for her long years of
devotion and commitment to The Artist’s Way, with
admiration for her vision and with humility for her courage
throughout our parallel and difficult trials.
With gratitude to Pat Black and company, for holding a
steady course as The Artist’s Way, and I myself, grew in fits
and starts.
With gratitude to David Groff, for his fine writing and
thinking.
To Johanna Tani, for her graceful and acute editing.
And to Sara Carder, for her deft and careful assistance
above and beyond the call of duty—all three of these
creative souls.
James Nave, for his loyalty and generosity as a long-term
teaching partner.
And to Tim Wheater, a special thank-you for his musical
brilliance and creative and teaching partnering through
multiple years and projects.
Gratitude also to Mauna Eichner and Claire Vaccaro, for
their inspired and fastidious design work, remembering
always that form follows function—to make my books
embody that artist’s formula—“Beauty is truth, and truth is
beauty.”
