“I often pick up one of my favorite books, Interviews with Artists 1966-2012, by art critic Michael Peppiatt. It’s the kind of book you can open at any page when you need a snippet of insight from a great artist.”

Michael’s book was mentioned in this excellent interview of Angela Ledgerwood by Girls at Library.
