Art and Business tools I use at my desk, that you can snag for yours!

When it comes to art there’s one thing I true heartily believe and that is that everyone should try things outside of their comfort zone, get messy, learn something new.

Here are my favorite ART books. Filled with inspiration whether you work on hand lettering, calligraphy, botanical art, food art, abstract art , surface design or work with a variety of mediums; there may be a book here for you. A book that can spark inspiration and maybe inspire a new collection! (The list will keep growing so visit often!)

art books that inspire!

There’s something special about finding the art SUPPLIES you resonate with most. When you give yourself the space to try something new, whether it’s using different colors or different composition techniques you open the door to new possibilities and even finding your artistic style.

Be it a medium of choice or your favorite brand.

Here you’ll find my favorite paper, paint (watercolor and gouache), sketching pencils, coloring pencils, dual brush pens, brushes and other art must haves.
