Resources to help you learn and grow your art practice

Resources

I grew up among stacks of books. My love of books began as a love of holding objects of beauty in my hands and has grown into an appreciation of successive thought—a curated grouping of words that form a story or a dialog, one where there is a clear beginning, middle and end.

For all of these reasons I have been working to compile a library for you— one that is full of books that have grown my love of learning, my love of art, nature, business, and self reflection. I’d love to know if this list prompted you to pick up one of these books and what you thought.
