6 Artists and The Favorite Corner of Their Studio
We all have a favorite space or corner in our studio where we love to spend most of our time. For some artists, it is their brainstorming corner, for some, it is their break corner and for some Artists it is where they create their Art. Every inch in that space is magic because this is where ideas are turned into Art.
We asked 6 Artists about their favorite corner of their studio, and here’s what they said

On asking Stacey about her favorite corner in her Studio-
I really like the little break area that I created because it is situated in a way that I can step back and look at where I’m at with a painting that I’m working on. I have a little table where I can write or eat a meal and just relax a bit.
