Always in progress, but I’m very pleased with this space!
It’s amazing what happens when you take a moment to look at your life and see how things are unfolding. Last year, I had to move my studio, and my space in the new building was considerably smaller than my previous one. Over the last few months, I’ve been able to expand within the new building—going from a 200 sq ft studio to a 400 sq ft studio with a 50 sq ft supply closet. This space is full of natural light which I haven’t had in a few years. It makes such a difference, especially for artist spaces.
This month, I’ve been focused on settling into the new space. The new studio wide open, which is exciting because I can host small groups here—something I couldn’t even do in my larger studio because of the layout. I’m really excited about what I’ll be able to accomplish here.
As I’ve purged a lot and set the studio up mostly how I want it, I’ve spent this past week getting back into the practice of tapping into creative joy. I’m reminding myself that my goal is to fully show up for this Creative Life, and that every aspect of my life is an opportunity to be expressive and creative. I genuinely believe that if I enjoy my work, I’ll show up to do it — and when I do the work, the reward will come.
I’m practicing following my fascinations and exploring processes I enjoy. I just want to enjoy being in this space, pouring into my process, and making new work that I love.
Here’s some sketchbook play as I get ready to host small workshops in this space.
