I think we are all “works in progress.” I’ve found that I’m happiest when I’m learning and growing as a person. Creating art – whether it is music or visual art – is my way of expressing that growth.
The following books have provided me with visual inspiration, techniques, and tools for personal growth. The list of clickable links for each book is followed by images of the book covers:
