As you can tell from the studio pics, things are a bit of a mess around here.  I'm feeling a little bit chaotic right now as I get ready to head to Australia for a month and my home reflects that chaos.  I always know that I'm in a good place when I start to organize and clean up.  I feel like, for me, an organized home is a reflection of an organized mind.  I'm hoping to have a chance to organize and clean up before I head out.  It's so much nicer to come home to a neat and tidy house, don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. Don't forget that tonight I'll be answering questions live online!

  • Definitely nice to come home to a clean and tidy house (but rarely done here).
    Color place you have there!
    Love the shower curtain and does it remind you of NYC?
    Safe travels for your Australian tour.

  • Wonderful art and how great to have it all around you. Like being at an art show and how cool is that?! How great to have a window to look out as you create. I’m sure the natural light is terrific. I too love your shower curtain! What appear to be altered art sculptures on your shelf look neat, too. Thx for giving us another glimpse into your abode. 🙂 ENJOY your trip to AU.

  • Have a wonderful trip and safe traveling. I definitely like not leaving things in utter chaos when I’m leaving for a trip. It makes me nuts to come back to a mess, especially since you’ve got stuff to resettle or wash (laundry) from being away. It’s about at this point that I make a list, if I don’t already have one, and start checking things off.

  • There’s no place like home! And this is such a happy place. All of that creative energy. Can’t wait to see what happens in Australia. And I second it = safe travels.

  • I love the mounds of color and design in your beautiful art. Your studio is a great space. I do not feel so badly as when my art closet/space is unorganized it means I am joyfully playing with my art supplies and papers. When it is organized it feels good but then I do not want to mess it all up 😉 It is almost impossible to keep a very small space totally organized especially after I play 😉 So thanks for sharing. It lets me remember that when exploring new ideas, or creating, it does not always have to be neat. Safe travels and enjoy!

  • Love your colorful place! The one thing that stands out is the tree on the table with the lamp and flowers…no color! Maybe you haven’t gotten to it yet…or maybe it’s a statement!
    Have a fabulous time in Australia! Wish I were going!
