Artists in their Studios: Where Art is Born

Can$44.95

With his latest book, artist Robert Amos gives readers a fascinating insider’s tour of studios on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands where some of Canada’s best-known artists create works.

Spanning more than 15 years of interviews and photographs, Amos has created panoramic collages of these artists' creative spaces, and even more revealing images with his words.

Not merely biography, Amos includes examples of completed works, and the insight that only another artist, and talented arts writer, can.
