About a week before her mother died author Tish McAllise Sjoberg asked her if she had any regrets. The answer was yes, her mother had

always wanted to become an artist. After 73 years, that was her regret. Not that she had done something terrible or wronged someone, but that she wronged herself in an almost invisible way. Always putting others' needs and wants first, she never became who she wanted to be.

Her mother's regret became fuel for her own creative path. Tish thought she too could die without realizing her dream of becoming an artist. In a commitment to honor her mother's life and regret, and to not let a single day go by where she didn't honor her own desire to be an

artist Tish embarked on her first 365 Days of Art project. She committed to make art every day for a year and McAllise Sjoberg never stopped. At publication of this book she celebrates of 20 years of making art daily.

"Artist is a verb. We don't become an artist and then do art, we do art and then begin to feel like an artist."-Tish McAllise Sjoberg
