New Chapter


Moving into a new space is always difficult, so it helps if the new space is not to far from home. Change isn't always wanted; it often makes us uncomfortable, but is needed for us to grow. So, It's best to ride the wave of change and see where it takes you. You just may be as surprised as I was at what await you on the shore.


Welcome to my new studio,

             Well, actually it is a part of my home, 
                                           I just didn't realize how spectacular this space was until now.


As an artist it isn't easy finding a place to call home


For one, there isn't a lot of ready made studio spaces that will fit your personality

A studio space has to be made


So first we start with creating a workspace


As you can see I am not alone in my quest

 Getting my easel set up takes a lot of work.
It was  handmade especially for me out of 100 year old walnut by my wonderful hubby
after we were married, yes that's him
"I love that guy"


I don't think I will ever get a chance to setup this workspace

Now lets hang some paintings


maybe not this one at least not yet


I think this one looks better over here

Finally



Working on a new series of paintings in my new home away from home in my home

That's saying a lot



I think I am going to like my new drawing/painting workspace



  Painting workspace /Sculpting workspace



This new space has a lot more room

But that is not all. . . . there is more. . . . . stay tuned

Yeaaaaa!

Turning the page

Turning the Page:

Well, Zuri and I moved out of our studio this week (Corporate buyers)
heading home until we find-a -new.


As I look back on the pass two years I reflect on all the 
things that made this space special to me


Friends visits







First Fridays gallery walks and Studio tours




 Having Zuri for a studio companion 




She enjoyed a good conversation


Working there, what a great space it was





Time to turn the page and say good-by
