For those of you who are interested in the books and podcasts that keep me motivated and inspired on the daily, this is for you:
Books
Here are the titles of books I’ve particularly loved recently.
I’m a big fan of audible books, so I can consume books while out for a walk, painting, cooking, in the car, or garden. So, the links here are where you can find them on Audible.

Podcasts
These are my absolute favourite arty podcasts. These are Spotify links, but you can find these podcasts on iTunes or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
- Art Juice
A podcast for artists, aspiring creatives and art lovers. Artists Alice Sheridan and Louise Fletcher share their thoughts on art, life and everything in between. - Art Holes
A recklessly deep dive into art and art history with someone who has no background on either topic. - The Art History Babes
Discussion of art and art history often fueled by alcohol (like a college seminar and a house party combined). - The Laura Horn Art Podcast
