A look at the other side of the fence
For sure, art is a personal exploration.
There are a thousand books that told me so. Not
that I needed to be told: I know this first hand being an artist myself.
However, I consider it useful to look at the world from the outside
in, for a fresh perspective. To do so, I've created a handy page that
offers information on the artworld from a buyers point of view:

Women Artist Info
We tried to offer a rich set of useful links relating to particularly women artists.
Below you'll find many of the world's most interesting & famous museums. This 'resources page' starts with women-dedicated resources, which are followed by general art resources. (I'm restructuring this superlong lists into more user-friendly sub-directories - please bear with me...).
