My taste in where I create is as eclectic as my taste in music, different kinds of art, photography and where I find inspiration.



Where do I create?



everywhere I find inspiration really.



I paint outdoors when I want to get lost in a field of wild flowers and feel the sun on my face and hear the crickets singing in the distance.



My love of photography finds me creating everywhere I see something interesting to photograph.



If you see some crazy lady hanging over a cliff to catch a rainbow with a Sony camera, that would be me.



I create at my kitchen table, so I can tend to whatever is on the stove or in the oven.



I love creating at the kitchen table so I can be part of all the activity in the house.

I create at my dining room table when I want to sit by the fire in the winter,



or admire the garden from my window in the summer.



I create on my deck, when the sun just comes up and the birds are greeting the morning.



I create sitting at my computer Blogging,



doodling on Photoshop, enhancing photographs and writing posts,

while Cocoa and Samantha sleep nearby.



I sometimes, create in my art room upstairs, which houses all of my art supplies.





I like to do my oil painting upstairs, so I can have all the things I need nearby.



I love my art trolly which helps me move my stash of art supplies from room to room,
while Mittens rests.



I guess for me it's not so much where I create, but celebrating the magic I find in so many inspirational places when I create.

I once dreamed of having the perfect art studio,





until one day when I finally had one, and then I realized that I still preferred painting at my kitchen table.
