Unleash Your Inner Artist: An Intimate Look at 31 Creative Work Spaces

By

Lynne Perrella

Art Making & Studio Spaces is a visual studio tour, an opportunity to turn the key and discover the inner workings of artists in their ultra-personal, unique workspaces. The mission of the book is to look inside studios in progress, amidst the throes of the artmaking process, and to investigate the thoughts of the artists within.

This book reveals the interplay between artist and studio, and explores how each workspace reflects a different, distinctive creative journey. Photography by Sarah Blodgett, plus contributed photos by some of the artists, combines with personal insights to provide an incomparable studio tour that will inspire you to create your own private work space. Pages from Lynne Perrella's art journal are included, to give further insight into this bottomless topic of "art and where it happens."

Lynne Kendall Perrella is a mixed-media artist, author, designer, workshop instructor, and incurable collector. Her interests include collage, assemblage, one-of-a-kind books, and art journals. She conducts creativity workshops in the United States and abroad and exhibits collage in galleries throughout the Berkshire Mountains. www.lkperrella.com

Pam, a lover of books, funny enough is the author of a great book on book making:

Fabric Art Journals:
Making, Sewing, and Embellishing Journals from Cloth and Fibers

In addition to the wonderful photos of the art spaces and writing from their owners in Art Making & Studio Spaces there are fabulous and inspiring quotes like this one:

"Books meet each new encounter
without any need for their
batteries to be recharged,
software upgraded, or chips replaced.
But it is the densely
informative immediacy and intimacy
of the experience provided by books
which is at the heart of their longevity."

-Johanna Drucker, The Century of Artists' Books

Well, I don't know about you but I am inspired to be creative now!
