Welcome to my art room!  Here are a few pictures I snapped last week while I was working on some textile designs.  Usually I’m sitting in here working on my computer full time, whether it’s for my business, or my other side job as a freelance textile designer.  Well this week was different!  I was inspired to get out my brushes and paint when a former professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, asked if I’d be interested in guest teaching a class.  I was honored!  Now, I just had to re-teach myself everything I learned in college in the world of hand painting.

So of course, being the artist that I am decided before I do anything, I must procrastinate first.  So here are some pictures I took of space around me in which I work.  I am happy to report, I did paint, I did teach the class, and had a very fun and successful time doing so.  I will post about my experience at the University teaching the students hand-painting soon!  First I wanted you to see my art room.  I like this famous quote by the artist Alice Neel:  ‘When I work, I work very fast, but preparing to work can take any length of time.’ I hear ya sister.
