From the table to 1,000 sq ft

There was a time that I would create art on our kitchen table. It was messy with lots of set up, tear down and clean up. Eventually I moved to the guest bedroom, then up to the loft and then finally my husband suggested I just take over the whole basement. So that is where I create today - I have about 1.000 sq ft studio space and also use our garage. Working from home has been ideal for me. My priority is to be present to my 3 young boys and be able to manage our home at the same time. I love that my children are surrounded by business and have a mom that created a full time job out of her creative ambitions.

 
You have extraordinary treasures hidden within you. Bringing forth those treasures takes work and faith and focus and hours of devotion. We simply do not have time anymore to think so small.
