As the creator of each painting, designer of all marketing material and organizer of all creative marketing projects, I spend a lot of time in the studio the months leading up to a show. My hands, feet and phone are constantly covered with paint and my mind brainstorms ideas well beyond my deadlines.
My studio becomes my home during these months. Hours pass as noticeable as a Fall leaf tumbling down an early morning sidewalk. My apartment becomes a storage container for all my new work and is only occupied during slumber, often beginning late into the night.
I can’t describe how many times I have said “I’m in my studio” over the phone. Friends dial my number though they know where I am and what I am doing. My mom calls and makes sure I have eaten and honks from passing cars constantly echo off my studio walls.
My Labor of Love keeps me in my studio the majority of the time leading up to a show, but the importance of a day off is very understood… though a day off is usually a day painting under the sun.
