Rose Garden Bounty<br />

Between taking care of a busy family with teenagers and keeping up with a full time art career, she<br />

admits that keeping balance in her life is one of her biggest struggles. “For years I would paint in our<br />

sunroom, which has great north light windows and is located right in the heart of our home. I loved<br />

being accessible to my family when they needed me, but it often caused problems for my creative<br />

process and for our home life.”<br />

Finding studio space outside the home did not seem like the best solution, so she began designing<br />

and preparing construction for a new 400 sq. foot space to be a dedicated home studio. The project<br />

was finally completed last <strong>September</strong>. “I still get a rush of energy, excitement and inspiration each<br />

time I walk into my studio. It is a wonderful place to be and I feel so blessed to have it!”<br />

<strong>No</strong>w that she has a dedicated art space to enter at the beginning of each day and leave behind each<br />

evening, she finds she is able to more consistently carve out creative time. She recently completed a<br />

Petite Painting Project, where she created 100 paintings in 100 days. “I wanted to challenge myself.<br />

Kind of like a self-imposed ‘art boot camp.’ I just wanted to see where it took me. It was amazing!<br />

After painting every single day for several months, I learned some interesting things. Creativity<br />

breeds creativity – instead of running out of ideas for compositions, my inspirations seemed to increase.<br />

Setting a routine for creating made me feel less stressed about organizing my life in general.<br />

Also, by intensely exploring color, value, composition and technique on a day-to-day basis, I saw<br />

incredible growth toward where I want to be as an artist.”<br />
