Dealing with a Messy, Unorganized Studio

How did it get this way? Four years ago, I moved into my studio. It looked pretty clean then. My interests and artistic pursuits have changed and accumulated in that time. Every surface is covered with piles of papers, books, mail, postcards and/or projects.

In one corner, piles of magazines, boxes and rolls of paper await some form of order.

The other end of the desk...

The work table top...

My plan is to work a few hours a day so it's not so overwhelming to deal with the piles. Decisions need to be made on what to purge so room can be made for new interests and art supplies. This whole process is making me rethink my artwork priorities- what is really important and what
can I let go. Does anyone else have this problem? How do you deal with it?

Go to Posting > Edit Pages > New Page to add a page title and content. The Home Page brings you back to your main blog page with current posts.

You're welcome to visit my studio and see where I create. Just click on the "Studio" tab under the blog banner. Thanks for stopping by and taking my studio tour.

New Beginnings- Welcome!










Artist friends encouraged me to start a blog to share my ventures in art and travel. Recently retired from my day job, I can devote my energies to creating and exploring my dreams. The photos below show my wonderful new studio. Just being able to work in the studio full time is exciting and energizing. With the help of my handy hubby and Jennifer Campbell, The Art of Organizing, this former bedroom became a studio. I highly recommend two books by Jo Packham- "Where Women Create" and "Organizing Your Craft Space".
