Books

The following are partial cover images of books that I have read that have been very influential and informative in my personal, professional and artistic development. I have no official affiliation with any of these publications, publishers or authors. They have simply been helpful and inspiring to me in my understanding of myself, life and the world.

Resources

The following links are to sites of folks that have been super inspiring to me and my work. I have no official affiliation with any of them and share them here out of gratitude and an honest wish to be a part of community that helps to better the world. I consider them public mentors from afar. These authors and thinkers that I share here are shared out of fellowship with these folks who deserve recommendations as well as to provide resources for folks who wish to further study. In my dreams we would use these as text books for The Life Art Institute and any life art programs that get established at universities around the world! Thank you to all of them! And by all means there are many, many more books and thinkers out there who have gone into my own estimation of this work.
