When we moved a year ago it was our new house's living room, with its soaring cathedral ceiling, which totally sold me on this particular property. When we bought the house I right away turned the whole living room into my studio!
As interested as I am in the tiny house movement, I just put it together this week that as an artist I need lots of light and expansive space to nourish my creativity. 8’ ceilings and small narrow rooms would never work for me. Mentally, emotionally, psychologically, creatively, my vision for making art withers when confined to smaller spaces. Imagine trying to plant a 20’ tall tree inside your house - it’s sort of like that.
At 70 I am just now coming to understand that my entire art practice feeds off of light and space - o yeah and color too! ! O the wonder!
