It’s beautifully written and will be a great book to refer back to when I’m having a bad art day (lots of highlights are being made)!

About the Book
Being an artist can be a paradox. In part it’s about connection – to our creative selves, to the work we make, and to those we share it with. And, by nature often a solitary activity, it can sometimes feel lonely. Long hours alone in the studio can be both a balm and a challenge. We all need reminders that we’re not really alone; that there are others out there also working away in their creative spaces, connected through time, space, and shared experiences.
It’s those shared experiences that form the basis of the Artnotes Tara Leaver has been writing since 2013. Artnotes are letters from one artist’s life to another, sent via email, that speak to the ups and downs of the artist experience. Filled with observations, stories, inspiration, humour, and fresh perspectives, they have become a much loved source of connection, validation, and camaraderie with readers around the world.
The Artnotes Collection brings together a selection of the best of these letters into a beautiful book, perfect for dipping into in those moments when you need guidance, reconnection, or to remember that you’re never really alone.
