Artists Who Inspire Me
They are in no special order and additions are made frequently. Classical artists are mixed in with contemporary ones. There are painters, sketchers, carvers, printers, illustrators, visual journalers, letterers, and many who mix their media. Some I have met, as a fellow artist or student, many I have not. Most, alive and kicking, others long gone. But in some way, each has a style, a technique, a sense of play that appeals to me and makes me want to play along. What can I say? I have eclectic tastes.
Variety is the spice, you know.
