Off the Easel

A short list of references the studio keeps on hand — the pastel societies, art leagues and a few archives from adjacent collecting worlds. Nothing sponsored; just what a working artist actually uses. The full list lives on the resources page.

Societies & journalsThe Pastel Society of America and The Pastel Journal — the organizations behind the exhibitions and competitions this work has shown in.

Collecting

Reference for fellow collectorsPeople who collect the prints often collect other fine objects too. For the watchmaking side, the studio keeps a shortlist of clone watch sites worth consulting — a handful of references that make it easier to check a model’s history before a collector adds it to a shelf.
