Where I Create

Messy desks welcome. We've seen your art — now show us where the sausage gets made. The paint-stained kitchen table. The editing cave with three monitors and no sunlight. The corner of your bedroom where masterpieces happen between laundry piles. Studios, closets, garages, balconies — if you create there, we want to see it. No setup is too small, too messy, or too weird. Post a photo or a carousel of your creative space. Let the banter flow from there.

My Workshop

Translated from Français

My workshop, a calm and peaceful place, far from the fury of the world... even if this rumor is knocking loudly at my door!

My corner

This is my small, but cozy corner where I make art. I wish for a light-filled room with large windows and a view of the sea! For now, this is all mine. 🙂

Today in the studio

Studio today! I'm reworking the lighthouse on the right, which is Green's Ledge Light in Norwalk, CT. The one to the far left is Spring Point Ledge Light in South Portland, Maine, and is actually a canvas wrap from Bay Photo. The original is sold.

What Did These Famous Artists' Studios Actually Look Like?

Post image 1

Peek inside the workspaces where masterpieces were born.

From Basquiat's paint-splattered Lower East Side loft to Matisse painting from his bed when he could barely move — these studios tell you more about the artist than any museum placard ever could.

The lineup: Frida Kahlo's studio (reportedly always smelled like Fabuloso), Matisse working from bed in his final years, Picasso surrounded by chaos, Dalí being Dalí, Basquiat in his iconic NYC loft, Francis Bacon's legendarily messy setup, and Giacometti — somehow sculpting in a full suit and tie.

What strikes you looking at these spaces is how different they all are. Some are meticulous. Some look like a paint factory exploded. Bacon's studio was so chaotic that when they preserved it after his death, they catalogued over 7,000 items crammed into a tiny room.

And yet every single one of these spaces produced work that changed art history.

There's no "right" way for a studio to look. The only thing that matters is that it works for you.

What does YOUR studio look like right now? Drop a photo — messy, clean, cramped, or sprawling. We want to see where the magic happens. 👇

My studio today. It's ever-moving!

Yes, I finally have a lovely, pretty, organized studio in a spare room, but I'm forever moving outside...to the patio, the side of the house, the front yard, the park the mountains, a stream, and even to a TV tray after dinner to be by my husband when he unwinds after work with a TV movie. This is my studio at this precise moment, where I'm starting a new painting for a show in May. (Yes, my husband is still building the water feature in the background.) :)

Storage space

Storage space and organization is always a challenge. My digital reference material is over 8 GB, and then all other files, High-res art files for printing, low-res art files for web, social media files to name a few. I have several external hard drives as to not bog down the hard drive on my PC. I even have secure cloud storage for my unedited hig res artfiles. Even with this it is sometimes hard to find what I am looking for. Ps. I am not a high-tech person although I frequently have to help my husband with online stuff, he doesn't even know how to share a file to his FB account.
