The New Studio

The Palo Alto Studio

In early 2019, I reached a lifelong dream of growing my business enough to rent a real art studio.  I moved in the next week, just in time to film my Metal Leaf Art course and begin a large design commission.  Welcome to my new studio!

My friends had a party for me and brought me cards and flowers for our first night painting in the new space.

The Original Studio

I will always be grateful for my original Mountain View studio; one corner of my little townhouse garage where I first learned how to work with fluid paint, metal and resin. Here are some photos of my original studio, cropping out the bikes and kayaks that I shared my space with.  I used to paint at my easel, with my babies sleeping on my chest or watching me from a high chair.
