Art and more art!

Here are the shots I promised of how the moving in to my new studio is going.  As you can see the space is already overflowing with materials and unfinished works.  My biggest challenge will be to stay focused on one thing at a time as there are so many things I have on the go.  I have been told that you should really have negative white space to allow for new ideas to evolve and keep old ones at bay.  As I have a commission to start ans finish before anything else, I may need to flat file everything away before I begin to play. 

NEW STUDIO NOW OVER FLOWING WITH THE PAST & NEW IDEAS

My husband has once again come to the rescue to build me a space that will inspire me to create despite my crazy schedule.  With new white walls and beautifully bright pot lights, my new space is cheery enough to make me head to the basement.  Still organizing all my stuff, I have still managed to pull out my brushes, scissors, paints & grease pencils to release physical angst over my lack of time with my work.  I'll show you some new shots tomorrow to reveal how things are progressing with making everything fit.

A big thank you to Lauren Miller @ Art Inspire

Last night, I received a lovely little note from Lauren Miller via Facebook that she had done an artist profile on me for their new blog Art Inspire.  Despite the surprise about the work that they chose to use as the cover; a wee watercolour and ink landscape done in Japan (seen left), I was grateful for her attention. Upon visiting the blog, I was astonished at the variety of things the blog will be talking about and how they go about sharing wonderful articles from other publications.  I was also surprised to see my images being used everywhere, not just for my artist profile.  My images were being used as the cover for an article on the Armoury Show in New York, a place that I love, the image used to promote a link to a Basquiat, one of my favourite artists, as well as in their slide cover on their home page and heading up a series of other cool posts.  The important part was how they have been so professional in using these images.  Each picture is tagged with my name and the title of the work.  Congratulations and Thank You on so many levels to Lauren Miller and the Art Inspire team.  You are well worth a follow.  http://artistinspire.com/?p=476
