A Second Wind is a retrospective arrangement of beautiful new photographs of Jerry Wennstrom's artwork, by Seattle architectural photographer, Andrew van Leeuwen, and earlier pictures spanning a period of over 50 years. The book's 260 pages include rescued images of his destroyed paintings; (in 1979) a creative act of liberation and the turning point of Wennstrom's life where he gave himself to becoming and living the creation by giving away his possession, abandoning the life of a studio painter, and living a monk-like life for over a decade. Representing Wennstrom's "Second Wind" of art, the book also features colorful full-page spreads of the exotic, archetypal carved figures that came later. Wennstrom speaks to the new level of creative freedom by saying in the book; Art abandoned for the meaningful allurement of a higher calling . and the return to art without compulsion, for no reason at all. Included in the book are many stories -- both art-related and transformational -- written by the author along with "creative responses" by over 50 notables who have been impressed with Wennstrom's works over the decades. Those responses include stories and creative expressions by and of cultural anthropologists Margaret Mead and Jean Houston; Jungian analysts and scholars Marion Woodman, Claire Dunne, and Corwin Fergus; psychologists/drug researchers Ralph Metzner and Christopher Bache; cosmologist Brian Swimme, storytellers Laura Simms and Vi Hilbert; poet David Whyte, artist Deborah Koff-Chapin and visionary financiers Charlie Hess and Vici Robin; the Dalai Lama's Gyuto monks, and even legendary chanteuse Lotte Lenya (of The Threepenny Opera and From Russia With Love fame).

Acerca del autor
Artist and writer Jerry Wennstrom was born in New York, where he lived out the first half of his prolific art career. The superficial Andy-Warhol- Soho-art-scene in the late ’70s repelled him, yet his own obsession with art rang false as well. In 1979, after days of fasting and realizing his limits as a studio painter, he destroyed his large body of art, gave away his possessions, and trusted the spirit of creativity itself to carry his life. He threw himself out into the world, penniless and homeless, for nearly fifteen years. And as he discovered, unseen hands carried his life.
He eventually found a home again, on Whidbey Island, WA, which offered an extensive creative community. There he met his wife-to-be, Marilyn Strong. The pair have toured the country with Parabola magazine’s Cinema of the Spirit film festival and taught workshops in dreamwork and myth.
Wennstrom began painting again, this time murals on the walls of the tall, 1,000-sq-ft space below the home they shared. He also started crafting large cabinets and sculptures, each exotic and evocative, embodying paradox and metaphorical opposites such as life/death, shadow/light, and masculine/feminine.
In 2000, a Parabola video, In the Hands of Alchemy, was released describing his early painting career, the destruction of his life’s work, the story of his personal transformation, and his eventual return to art. His life of artistic exile was told in his autobiographical book, The Inspired Heart: An Artist’s Journey of Transformation from Sentient Publications (2002).
A Second Wind not only fills in details of Wennstrom’s early life, but picks up the story and shows the incredible work that has emerged from the last twenty years. This latter work is celebratory in nature, integrating joyful embodiment and revealing the golden thread of a long and magical journey. It is Wennstrom’s second wind, his life and art resurrected.
