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.
