Studio Tour

Welcome to my studio space. It is located in an old mill building that has been renovated and now the home to some great local small businesses, art studios, and shops. It is right in the downtown of Dover, NH and is a convenient commute from my home which is a couple miles out of the downtown.
At my studio I have my original artwork and limited edition prints for sale. I have been busy mounting some of my prints on gallery canvases so that I can update my etsy shop. Here is a sample, after the print is mounted I finish the sides with a patchwork of papers and paint to give a wrap around finish.

The new shop update will happen next week!

Here is the work space. The painting on the easel is my ongoing project of the ever evolving tree. I use the tables for my works in progress.
One of my biggest challenges that I faced when I took this space was that there is no sink in the studio. I got creative and made this cleaning station. I have my storage container of water, containers, and brush cleaner. I think I use less water and am happy that I found an environmentally friendly solution.
Here is my little office space, it is almost like an over size closet. I have to say I do most of my office work at home. I try to keep my time at the studio devoted to creativity and teaching. This little room store supplies that I use frequently so I can quickly get my hands on them. I also have a little area tucked around the corner where I have my coffee maker so I can make hot water for tea. I love my "inspire me"wall. This room leads to another room, where I store lots supplies, it needs some organization and weeding out so I couldn't bring my self to take a photo of that space. When the kids in my classes occasionally follow me in there they always have a look of awe.
Well that is my studio. It is small, cozy with inviting colors and artwork. It brings me such joy to to be able to create and teach there. I hope you have enjoyed my little tour and thanks for visiting!
