ART EXPLORATIONS, INSPIRATIONS & DISCOVERIES
Susan Mills art studio blog is a creative space for art explorations, techniques, materials and learnings. It is a place to talk about inspirations and musings, delving into what it means to be a creative artist. Some musings will be personal and come from the heart and some will be amusing – my more challenging moments! I will write about discoveries and how they impact my artistic practice. I hope you find them informative and helpful.
