I have the place and the space and have created my own art gallery and 
studio in my building.

Here is a little tour....

I am not always here...

So, when I have locked the place up and I am out and about  - you will see this sign.

Yep.
Ya gotta go UP the stairs...
The house was built in 1875 and in the Italianate Style.

Picture

Almost there...

The porch is a handy place to use for more artwork to dry and as a display area too.

Picture

Welcome.

There is original 1875 wallpaper on the back wall and I wanted to keep it for historical purposes, so I had a galvanized metal wall installed and at the same time had some galvanized metal picture rails made by a local metal shop.

I like orange.
What can I say...

Picture

The original fireplace.

I am not a tidy artist.

I use a lot of squirt bottles and the skewers keep the paint from drying up and make for an interesting look....

My work table is covered with a large piece of canvas and every 2 years I remove it and put down a fresh new canvas. 
 The 2-year canvas "paintings" are keepers! 

I love visitors!
