Demystifying the creative process.
The Creative Path is an inquiry into the creative process from philosophical, psychological, spiritual, and practical points of view. In this welcoming work on the creative process, Carolyn Schlam encourages the reader to embark upon his or her own journey of discovery, identity, and wonder through art. The author started her career in art under the tutelage of master teacher Norman Raeben in the Carnegie Hall Studios in New York.

Schlam's warm and inviting tone speaks directly to her readers, encouraging them to energize their practice and offering the tools to do so.
