To make a clean start in the new year, I reorganized my small studio space. For the past four years or so, the room has been arranged with everything around the outside, up against the walls. After the re-org, the table juts out into the center of the room. Surprisingly, the room seems bigger! There is a great energy, too.

My life is going through a lot of changes. I am taking four classes this semester to finish my bachelor’s degree. I quit my 40-hour/week job, and ended up with two part-time jobs, with fantastically flexible schedules. This all means that I won’t get as much time in the studio as anticipated until after mid-May. I’ve been going to school and working full-time for eight years; I’m putting my nose to the grindstone to finish up.
