Danny Gregory – författare

When Danny Gregory's life was turned upside down by tragedy, he learned to cope by teaching himself to draw. The result was a complete transformation of his life, his priorities, his career and the way he saw the world. In handwritten chapters full of his own lush watercolour illustrations, Danny offers readers a chance to reconnect with their own creative energies, using drawing as an example. He gently instructs his audience in the art of allowing themselves to fail, giving up the expectation of perfection and opening up to the world.

Danny Gregory and his wife, Patti, hadn't been married long. Their baby, Jack, was 10 months old - life was good. And then Patti fell under a subway train and was paralysed from the waist down. In a world where nothing seemed to have much meaning, Danny decided to teach himself to draw. What he learned stunned him. Suddenly things had colour again, and value. As funny, insightful and surprising as life itself, this memoir forms a journey of discovery, rediscovery and beauty guaranteed to offer important signs back on the road to selfhood.
