Having a studio at Artspace has been a goal of mine ever since I first discovered it in 2015. But, as many of us do with our goals, it always seemed like something that would happen "in the future" or "one day".

Even earlier this year I put it on my 3 to 5 year plan. But if 2020 has taught us anything it is to expect the unexpected.

A lot can change in 6 months and it has been a wild ride. So with contracts signed and keys in hand, I moved in on July 1st and I am beyond excited, humbled, and thankful for the opportunity to join this incredible community of artists!

In addition to being my working studio, once Artspace is open to the public visitors will be able to come and interact with the space too! See the artwork in person, chat about works in progress, and purchase a piece or two to bring home with them!

The videos and photos below document the move-in process!

Now, after one month of settling into the space, I can honestly say that it already feels like home.
