My studio is very bare bones....a small 10x10 room facing east.
The first thing you will notice when you enter, is not art related at all, but rather, a giant elephant in the room....my workout machine.
A small room, but I have space for my easel, my television, art books, CD player, and most importantly, my computer. I almost always paint off my monitor.
I also have a small drafting table which holds my palette when I paint and also comes in handy when I am working on my mixed media pieces. Somedays, I spend lots of time sitting there and staring out the window.
I couldn't have a studio without my closet. I store all my supplies there, from frames to inventory. Since I have started doing a lot of mixed media, my supply shelves are getting very crowded with mediums, gels, papers and found objects. Hmmmm, I think a re-organization is in order.
I sell most of my works on line, so much of it is in the small "daily painting" category. It does make it easier to store around 150 paintings!
What I refer to as my "shipping department" is below these shelves. It consists of a roll of bubble wrap, odd and ends of foam core, a child's wagon full of styrofoam peanuts and misc pieces of shipping materials I re-cycle from shipments I receive.
Thanks so much for touring my studio today. To continue on with this artist's studio tour, just click on one of the links below.

This is great! I love seeing someone else making it work in a 10' x 10' space! And you have fit an exercise machine in there besides! Wow that's making it work!
You have made this a wonderful space. Thanks for sharing.
You look very organized to me! Sometimes having more space just means more mess *cough marla cough*
Thanks for the tour!
Ah! The workout machine. Had one in our LIVING ROOM for years...lol Great post - thanks for the tour!
Hey Carol, I was honoured to be included alongside you in the studio carnival. I love your work, and in fact I´m going to sign up for your blog. Hugs.
I actually laughed out loud when I saw your work-out machine. I finally put my elliptical machine on Craig'sList. It was serving as a hat rack in my studio! Thanks for the tour.
You did a lot with this space, Carol!! It looks wonderful. My space is 9 x 14 and I love it!! thank you for the tour!
Did I miss the refreshment table?? Loved it dahling, as tidy as you are and just as creative! But that monster machine made me feel guilty with capital letters!
