Artist Sally Mann discusses her latest book, Art Work: On the Creative Life (Abrams Press, 2025), an exploration of creativity with stories, advice, and life lessons. Illustrated throughout with photographs, journal entries, and letters Art Work offers insights about the hazards of early promise; the unpredictable role of luck; the value of work; the challenges of rejection and distraction; the importance of risk-taking; and the rewards of knowing why and when to say yes.
