le space

You may remember a while back I alluded to some sort of surprise coming up.

These here are pictures of my new studio space at the Atelier One, just down the street from our house.
Yep, we live in this tiny rural town, yet 2 blocks away is one of the few artists' studio warehouse buildings in the county.

I knew that one day our shared studio (beautifully situated in our backyard garden) would become cramped for both Tony & I to work in, with our mutual penchant for large works, and all the accumulation.
And the opportunity to rent this high-ceilinged bright space came up, and well, I took it.
I have a new studio-mate as well-- who will be on the other side of that wall, and we have some set-up issues to work out, with lighting, floor protection, some construction et al. Plus, due to a fairly recent knee injury, it's going to be a very gradual move-in. (upstairs, you know). But I think it's gonna be a very good thing, and fear not, I will be keeping an area to work in the 'old' studio as well-- so I'm not giving up on the garden!
