The Library
On this page, I share with you a selection of books that have inspired my art and helped me grow as an artist. From books on learning to draw and paint to color theory, these resources have played a big part in my creative journey. I also include books that inspire me through the work of other artists, art history, and those that align with my own artistic universe.
