An Artist’s Collection is art work the artists keep for themselves.
Keep something from every period of your life because it is interesting to see how your ideas and styles have grown, changed or remained the same over the years. It is also relevant in deciding where you want to go. Keep an example of each style and technique that you had used, you might want to refer to them. Here is part of my artist’s collection.
