Small Space Creativity in the Latest Studios Magazine

The winter issue of Studios magazine hits the newsstands this week. In this issue, many of the featured artists have fashioned creative studios in small spaces, some in 100 square feet or less.

Studio's editor, Cate Prato, asked me to contribute an article on small spaces/big style and making the most of what you have. (Thanks again for the opportunity, Cate!) I've always wanted to see if my beloved Hoosier cabinet could be transformed into a self-contained studio, so here was my chance to give it a try.

My Hoosier-turned-studio proved to me that a step-saving and stylish studio can be achieved in only 12 square feet. I have toyed with the idea of using my cabinet as a mini studio. And who knows? Down the road when we downsize, I may use it for just that. 

You can find my article, called "A Tiny, Tidy Home Studio," on page 27 of the magazine. Plus, I was pleased to be able to suggest two of my fellow Artsy Girls to the editor and they are both in this issue. Be sure to check out Laurie Davis's GlitterWorksStudio space on page 46. Laurie is known as the "Glitter Fairy." She'll apply glitter to just about anything! And on page 110, you'll find the snug and cozy home studio of illustrator Maggie Swanson. A supremely talented artist, Maggie had illustrated over 100 children's books.

I hope you are able to get a copy of this inspiring winter issue of Studios. If you have trouble finding it, you can order it online here.

Thank you for making the connection for me, Susan! Photographing my studio was the excuse I needed to tidy it up and look at it with a fresh eye. The magazine is so much fun!

I just bought this edition - congratulations! I should have submitted my tiny studio hallway, which I'm rather proud of! An extremely tiny space it is.
