I’m not one of those typical “I work best in a mess” artists. I have too much of my father’s left brain in me for that. When everything is everywhere, it makes me to anxious to work. I like organization – everything in its place where I can always find it. I like my workspace to look clean and uncluttered, even if it is secretly a disaster behind closed cabinet doors.
In my art room, it’s especially important that my materials are put away properly because I often have several different people in there helping me in any given week. They all need to be able to easily find what I ask for, and if nothing is put away properly, that makes it very difficult. I always have only a set amount of time to work in there, so efficiency is key.
I also like friends and family who come over to be able to see a bit of what I’ve been working on recently. It decorates the room nicely and sometimes results in a sale or two!
Here are a few pictures of my art room and the furniture I had custom made for it.
