Artists Observed In Artists Observed photographer Carole Hampshire provides a fascinating insider's view of the work and life of 32 Blue Mountains artists-from sculptors, painters and potters to performance and 'outsider' artists. The artists speak about their work and what inspires it, and in this way the book provides a portrait of both the place and its inhabitants. Words and full-color photography combine to take the reader on a unique journey through the Blue Mountains art world.
