As often as I can, I visit bookstores and libraries for the sense of pleasure I find there. A room of books is a room of old friendships, and new ones about to be discovered. Bookhearted is a place to share the most special of these relationships. While I love all kinds of stories, my favorite flavor is something magical with a touch of reality in lyrical prose - it’s got to have some poetry to the style.
Here I share my favorite reads, bookish locations, and my artwork that crosses over with literary themes - celebrating the “art” in “bookhearted”.
I am passionate about layout and design, and do take commissions for book design projects.
