I absolutely love going to other artist's studios because I enjoy seeing what they are learning from. I want to know what my artist friends are reading, which classes they loved and how they are evolving their painting practice.
It's all one big circle of learning as we all grow together. On this page, I'm sharing some of my all time favorite art books, videos and secret finds. I hope you enjoy seeing a bit of what's on my bookshelf these days.
