I have been in my studio for a whole month and I am fully satisfied and ecstatic by the value it has given me and all it has allowed me to learn about myself. It is funny that I assign these attributes to an inanimate physical location, when it was me who sought it out and pays for it. As I project qualities on the studio, it is efficient and calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found a studio mate, Sarah Hombach<\/a>, to join in May and she\/they are an amazing artist and I think we will share the space well together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am 95% off instagram these days, and wonder if it is a decision I made not only gives me clarity and intuition, but if it puts me less on a place to feel professional jealousy? Is that a good or bad thing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
