A collection of art themed short stories, flash fiction and poetry from the Writer in Residence at The Grid artists' studios, Warwickshire. Clumsy cleaners, bashful models, self-centred divas, disciples and devotees–the short stories, flash fiction and poetry in Artists & Liars look at the art world from every angle.

As Pablo Picasso said: "Art is a lie that reveals the truth." Art and artists show us who we are and what the world could be. Whether you love visiting galleries or think conceptual art is something to do with birth control–whether you are conscious of it or not, art influences all our lives. Artists, models, dealers, collectors, voyeurs, where would be without them?
