Reading Lists
Reading is a cornerstone of my practice as an artist - it deepens my curiosity, cultivates vocabulary to communicate ideas, and stretches my imagination.
These lists are a sampling of books that have continued to impress upon me the importance of learning from someone else's specialty and finding new ways to pay attention to the world around me.
Follow the links to Amazon or head over to your local library to check them out!
