Behind the Scenes: Studio Changes & Answering Your FAQs as a Full-time Artist

In this video, I take you on a tour of my art studio, showcasing the recent changes I've made to transform it a space that meets my current creative needs. From repurposing a wall once used for photography into an art book library to installing shelving for displaying current art projects, I'll walk you through the evolution of my creative sanctuary. Along the way, I address some of the most frequently asked questions I receive about my artistic journey, including how I generate income as an artist who doesn't sell physical art, insights into my filming setup, what I do with finished paintings, and my methods for storing stencils. Join me behind the scenes as I share practical tips and insights into the life of a full-time artist.
