This is a painting made with a bit of leftover paint from the recent reno project. It isn't stretched yet, but will be about 2 feet x 3 feet when finished.
I am a multimedia artist too. I was looking for studio organization tips and came across your blog. It is fabulous and inspiring and you sound a bit like my twin (though I don't have one). We have recently moved to a house half the size of our previous one, so that means my art studio is half as big. I appreciated your comments on the right mix of creative/storage and have also noted that organization is an ongoing topic for you. I had a teacher in the past who told me that no work is finished until the studio has been cleaned up. I aspire to that instruction, though have never conquored it. I think that because multimedia artists are so multifaceted, we have a strong tendency to accumulate. I'm in the process of trying to find harmony between what I "may" use and what I want to use. I value open space. For me it is the negative space in life that creates interest. Thanks for sharing on your blog. I will definitely add it to my favorites. I wish we could communicate by email.

I am a visual artist working in Millet, Alberta. My formal art training was obtained through the University of Alberta, where I took courses in drawing, painting, printmaking, and art history. I work in a variety of media, and like to experiment with new techniques to see how they might be used to express my personal vision. My interests are also very wide, ranging from alternative health therapies to ancient goddess religions and the history of cooking. My artistic ventures reflect this tendency to explore our world and my reaction to what I find.

LOVE the colors and the contrast between the softness of the pink and the starkness of the black.
