BOOKSTACK

A list of mostly non-fiction books that have influenced & enhanced my work in the studio over the years. An avid reader & note taker, most of these books are dogeared and many have been read two or three times!

Note that they range in publication date from 1903 to present day. It’s always fascinated me to hear the voice of writers over time and to truthfully witness how writing from decades ago can feel so very current & releavant. Enjoy!
