One of the wonderful things I've chosen to do in the last few years is end my day with reading inspirational books on a variety of topics that feed my soul and shape my inner conversation. As you're looking for some of the best books on creativity, art and spiritual inspiration, I would recommend the following:
Of course, I'd be remiss not to recommend my own 3 books to you as well for your 2015 reading, or as a wonderful gift idea for that artist in your life. These are all available in print or, if you're like me, on Kindle.
And lastly, if you're a basketry artist or naturally leaning artist who loves natural materials like I do, then I definitely have to recommend to you my most favorite basketry book and a new one that I just love and had the opportunity to endorse:
I hope you're year is full of great reading, inspiration and fulfillment as you live the life you were created to live!
