Welcome to My Blog — As artists we each gather a unique array of tips, techniques, and inspirations throughout our careers. Here I cover many of my own. Most are expanded entries from my “Art Studio Secrets” books, and I offer brand new tips and techniques as I discover and try them. I invite you to share some of your discoveries here in the comments.
