Spring 2022 started with a naive notion that I could build my own studio in the back yard.
After COVID I wanted to focus on what I could do instead of just rolling with all the can't do's that the pandemic presented.
I spent hours sketching my ideas on scraps of paper and I used the "school of google" to find answers to my endless "how to" questions.

Hours and hours, dusk to dawn, my project is coming to life!
I have learned so much on this construction journey. Lots about building code, but also lots about myself and how far I can push my body and mind towards a goal which fulfills an essential need to have a space to work.

December 2023 - A year and a half of building but I have finally finished and I am officially painting in my new creative space.
I'm looking forward to the next few months... new images to come!
