Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

The design process is challenging & I am thankful to have found a few great people to help me with this project. I will be enlisting the expertise of an illustrator & cover designer who will also do the final layout. Since they will be translating my content into computer format and there will be a great deal of back and forth dialogue, making certain that the final Art Nurture book is filled with inspiration that is clear & easy to read. The fear is always that the project wont happen or wont be successful, but my belief is that this content is incredibly important. I believe that we each have a unique art to nurture for ourselves & to give to the world and I hope that this process and this book will help others catch the fire and begin nourishing their creativity as an integrated part of their lives.
