A Painter's Life is a rare glimpse into the mind of an uncompromising painter. Mari Lyons was a life-long "every-day" painter and from an early journal she kept for a short time she reveals the heartbreaks, the pain of rejection, the intense and abiding love of her work, and the quiet triumphs of a painter juggling the demanding life of a mother of four, a busy husband, constant financial pressure; she had a fierce desire to make ever-better work, and for her work to become more visible in the world. Later talks she gave at the Munson William Proctor Institute and Rider University frame the journal entries with the aesthetic concepts that animate her work. This look at her inner life is made more palpable by a selection of more than eighty-five representative paintings in color, along with sketches and photographs. Mari studied with Max Beckmann as a teenager, and later at Bard College, Yale-Norfolk, and with Stanley William Hayter. Her early work received high praise in college and from her first exhibition at the Polari Gallery in Woodstock when she was nineteen and still a student. She married at twenty-one, had three children in as many years, and then moved from the Midwest to New York City, where her fourth child was born. At first influenced by the Abstract Expressionists of the 1950s, she painted non-objectively but soon found the rich thingness of the world irresistible and her work developed into what she called "painterly figuration." Her journals and notes reveal the intimate details of her long mediation between these two commitments. In time she exhibited regularly at the First Street Gallery in Chelsea and received praise in such places as The Wall Street Journal, The New Republic, The New York Times, The Sun, Forbes FYI, and elsewhere. Today her paintings are in The Museum of the City of New York, The New York State Museum, Bard College, The Montana Historical Society, Mills, Wellesley, and Russell Sage colleges, The Montana Museum of Art, and many other museums and private collections.

JAYWICK SANDS ESTATE has a chequered history. Renowned for its expanse of golden sand, it has long attracted fisherman and smugglers. Only in the 20th century, however, did people settle there, responding to the offer from F.C. Stedman, the original developer, of chalets for less than GBP50. These were no ordinary people either, but pioneers in the true sense of the word. Escaping the drudgery of city life, London's Eastenders found at Jaywick a place where they were free to build their own homes with their own hands, unhindered by planners or building societies. They formed their own Association - a 'local authority' in all respects though without official status - to look after the residents and the estate, and with good reason Jaywick became known as 'the happiest resort on the Essex coast'. This account of Jaywick Sands Estate, the creation of entrepreneurs, pioneers and carefree holidaymakers, is an important addition to the published history of this part of Essex, and will intrigue local historians, residents and visitors alike.
