Bang!
Not one but three posts in one day!
And on a Monday morning too!
Please forgive me but im excited after spending a magical week teaching, talking and meeting some amazing Australian artists' and art lovers. And I thought I would impart some of my creative energy onto you! Its art shock therapy! So we can start the new year on a colourful and creative vibe.
I hope you dont mind?
Now, if you've been reading and following this tiny blog for the past few years, you may already know the lovely work of Mel. And if you've been really observant, you would have seen her colourful Petersham studio loft, when I featured it in a project I was calling 'In our Hands'.
I was on a personal quest with the the 'In Our Hands' project as I have a deep fascination with how artists' like to work in the studio. So I thought I would start snooping around a few art studios in Sydney, watch people at work, and ask questions about their inspirations, experiences of working as an artist, and their creative habits and routines in the studio.
(If you're curious to look at some of these posts, please click onto the label 'In our hands' at the bottom of this post.)
But getting back to Mel - in the last few months Mel, her partner Mark, and beautiful three year old son moved to the lovely Sydney suburb of Rozelle. And a couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit her new studio space and take a few photos.
I hope you enjoy this second studio visit for 2014!
Thank you Mel and family for letting us view your new space!
