If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
- Abraham Maslow
Picking the right tool or method to achieve an artistic goal is a life long search. Here are some of the artists whose work stands the test of time or whose work speaks to me today. Also included are internet resources, suppliers, interesting blogs, and YouTube videos that may be of interest. And, of course, the wonderful workshop artists I have enjoyed learning from.
