An exercise in delightful indulging

MY PERFECT YEAR OF MAKING ART

I'm sitting in this big white space surrounded by walls of windows. The lightning is soft and bright, and the space is spotless, not a spec of dust. The floors are easy to clean and unpretentious. Large white movable walls await my canvases. There's a cozy couch, a sink with a large countertop and a really big table on wheels in the middle of it all. 

On top of the door there's a built-in open shelving for artwork and supply storage, and on the side there's my fancy computer and a gigantic printer. 

The outdoor view is an abundant garden. There is a covered space for outdoor work, a central fire pit with seating all around it. In the back to the left there're my tools to frame my own artworks and there's a special friend who comes to help me when in need.

My studio is a place of pure creation. It's the gathering of brilliant minds, motivated to bring outrageous beauty to the world. We get together often to discuss art, experiment and learn from each other. 

Next door to my studio is my home. It is ideal as I can come and go as I please, at any time of day or night. My kids are so excited that I don't have to be away from them at all.

My partner is a mega-millionaire hot shot who donated all this to me and supports me so I'd never have to work again! (ok ok let's not get carried away here!) My partner is in love with my work (and me) and we love to read the same books in the same time, so we can share ideas as we go. 

My mornings are dedicated to connecting, following up and networking. I have 3-4 commissioned projects secured at all times and I excitedly work to keep up with them. Maserati just commissioned me to create a painting for each customer they have.

I am preparing one hundred mini portraits for fundraising events in my spare time. I have children visiting my studio to pose for me most weekends, and afterwards we all laugh hard while play with art.

I've joined the Atlanta's only curling club and my team is playing every Sunday. My kids and I do yoga every morning, very early in the day, right when the sun comes up before they head out to their school. 

I love to read and that's what occupies most of my evenings, cozying up in my bed under a skylight, resting my head next to my partner's, stoping from time to time to hear the rhythm of my kids' breath sleeping down the hall; smiling…


And I a haiku born out of the exercise:


Gigantic mornings
Soft and bright studio. Smiling.
One hundred portraits.


This is an amazing studio space that I found online


And this is me curling for the first time with my ladies this past weekend.
