Four Inspiring Books for a Creative Life: Nonfiction Edition

Books are scattered throughout my home and my paintings, tucked between flowers, animals, and little corners of quiet magic. They’re more than objects—they’re companions, teachers, and sparks of inspiration. In this post, I’m sharing four nonfiction books that have shaped my creative life and continue to influence the way I paint nature, animals, and the cozy, witchy beauty of everyday living. From Braiding Sweetgrass to The Library of Esoterica, these works invite us to live more slowly, more attentively, and with more enchantment.
