Welcome to the first edition of Meet My Art Friend! You can expect a new interview with a fellow artist every month or so, right here in this newsletter. I’m thrilled to share my conversation with artist and illustrator Melissa Lakey, who I first met in a painting workshop and since have had the privilege of meeting and drawing together. Read below for our chat about sketchbooks, freezing up when we have too much time, and preparing for gallery shows.
Ooh the tip about keeping multiple sketchbooks for multiple things is so eye opening! I might try that out since I can never find the right sketchbook to fit everything, maybe I’ve just been approaching it wrong!
I love this interview! Multiple sketchbooks -- yes! Wonderful idea. Thank you Carolyn and Melissa!

Thank you for inviting me to be your first interview! It was so nice to chat about art and sketchbooks.
What an inspiring interview! 👏😊 Really cool to read about how Melissa works intuitively.
