I recommend artists read two books which I assure will enhance you're understanding of the major challenges facing creative individuals. They are, "Trust the Process, an artist's guide to letting go" by shaun mcniff and "Art & fear, Observations On The Perils (and Rewards) of ARTMAKING" by David Bayles & Ted Orland. Both books are available from Amazon.com.

I am featured in a new hardcover book entitled, "Artists of the Midwest" and it is now available for pre-order at a discounted rate through Amazon.com. It features several artists from Wisconsin; Fred Stonehouse, Jan Serr, Tom Uttech, Mark Mulhern, Mary Bero, Clare Malloy, myself and other prominent Wisconsin painters and sculptors.To order through Amazon simply type in the book title or ISBN number.

This expansive book takes a fresh look at 100 living artists from the Midwest, their personal stories and inspirations, along with several examples of their works. A wealth of urban settings, wide plains, flourishing cities, rushing rivers, and placid lakes are source material and inspiration for the artists. These works show how each artist interprets life. They explore the richness of the homegrown imagery of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin - their culture, society, and environment. They are delineating our stories for future generations in oil, pastels, sculpture, and other media. Their works are displayed in over 600 full color images. This book is essential for all who appreciate or practice art today.
