Career Workings of a Teacher Turned Successful Artist

To want something means to work for it—and work for it hard. This is exactly the tenet of Rosalie Contino. The author shares her best tips and experiences when it comes to having a dream and earning it, in her new novel, Born to Create.
 
Contino was previously a teacher, but her love for art exceeded her profession. Now her art is her profession! Contino takes readers into her journey of becoming a costume designer, costume historian, playwright, and now, author, reminding people that with a little help and dedication, dreams can go a long way.
 
“Born to Create is a very personal book. I wanted readers to be inspired by my story. Anybody can realize a dream,” states the author.
 
Written in a conversational style with many lessons to take from, the book is certain to inspire many.
