How To Decorate with Art+Craft and Books In a Small Space

As an Artist and Interior decorator I get inspirations from the books I read and collect, these books are biographies, fiction, design, art and craft books.I am always on the lookout for books that are relevant to my craft so I am forever collecting.







The whole collecting of books makes my space crammed but I love my books and I want to share them with friends and guest alike.

 The daunting task was how to create a space that would blend both my books and Art together without it being cramped, I was able to achieve it in my Sitting room space when I read an article in an interior decor magazine, about shelves making a comeback.



The bookshelves I read about were really 
well made and looked more like Art, than shelves.
That was a delight for me. That was the inspiration behind my idea of decorating with books alongside my art and craft.
 



Gone are the days when books were arranged in sturdy built, boring looking shelves that didn't add flair to a room,
 they were


 rather intimidating and daunting just looking at 
them.


Books these days, are part of home decor accessories, 


 they are stylish to have on coffee tables, as a pile or
 scattered around cute shelves in a space.

They create a chic space, that says a lot about 
the style of the individual, inhabiting that space.

 Having said that, this has inspired me to show how,


 I have blended my books and Art in my own space. 


I love books and I am an Artist what can I  say. Enjoy

Expressionist Abstract Art of Women  Drawing women and their expressions is something, I am truly interested in. Female profiles and faces in abstract is intriguing and Ink drawings, are a way for me to throw that notion out there, of a female portrait created differently.  This is something that is important to me as a woman artist, this matters.                                                                                                                  I draw faces in a way that is uncomplicated  and easy to read, in a rather caricature way though not comical, with ink, it is easy to let the colors flow so that they create for me, the facial contours and structure.  My emp...
