edit data

Anne E.G. Nydam has been writing poems and creating imaginary worlds since the age of six. If asked at any point since then what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would have answered, "a writer." Her love of language led her to major in linguistics at Yale University, but this was followed by an unexpected but delightful ten-year detour into teaching middle school art.
Ms Nydam is now a stay-at-home mother, artist, and writer. She lives with her family outside of Boston. She is a poor housekeeper, as is only natural in someone with so many more interesting hobbies to pursue.

Please join her at her blog on relief block prints and juvenile fantasy: Black and White, Words and Pictures.

How to Be an Artist

Gratitude first, then curiosity spurred by wonder,Gathering beauty until it overflows.Precision spurs precision,Detail detail, light light.Polishing each facet of wonder,Place the world in a small silver settingAnd present it to itself.Pause often to let the beauty flow clear.Hush often to hear the silence fill up with silence.Yet never stop, for the pausing is work,The hushing is work,The wai...
