My first book by Quarry Books! DARING ADVENTURES IN PAINT is a colorful, playful adventure that explores inspirational paint and mixed-media techniques. My book’s approach to making art is a bit like uncovering a hidden treasure, a treasure that resides within each aspiring artist.

Through a myriad of both practical applications and creative exercises, this book shows artists how to “find their magic” – the place of confidence from which they can access the vision of what they want to share with the world!

For crafters who have more confidence running a sewing machine than setting up a website, The Handmade Marketplace breaks down and makes sense of the global possibilities for marketing and selling crafts.
