My home studio and gallery

My studio is my home and my home is my studio. I would not have it any other way because I feel in my element here .... I have two areas where I perform most of my work, a primary workspace for painting and a thinking space which is my personal mini gallery where I hang my in-progress and completed artworks .... The best thing about my studio is that the commute to and from work is only about 30 feet.



My working space is small, but that is just how I like it because I am surrounded by my materials and art supplies. I like to paint under artificial light because I find it to be a consistent enviornment in which to work, regardless of the time of day. I have another space where I assemble and package the Giclee reproductions.



The thinking space is my favorite part of the studio. I love painting landscapes in the style of the Hudson River School and Victorian era artists, and this room is authentically decorated in the style of that time period. My artworks are hanging on just about every available inch of wallspace. Some are completed, some are in-progress, and some have not yet been started (you can see the white canvases mounted in frames).



This is also the room where I keep my reference library of books and my laptop. I can sit in this room for hours, researching through my books or on the Internet. This is a really great room for hanging out and I often get inspired for new works while I'm sitting here.
