Hey everyone… Hope your having a great week…. one of the biggest issue I have as an artist is probably very close to the same as many others…...its the storage!……when I first started on this journey one of the things I never considered was where do I store everything?…with the size of my paintings its very difficult to store them all, and with over 300+ paintings and counting I don’t have the wall space..
Over the years I have seen some really creative storage ideas. From hollow painting walls where the artist can store paintings inside and then paint on the outside of the wall.. to specially configured closets to fully dedicated rooms, to old mailroom cabinets repurposed …… I think a lot of it depends on what your trying to store and how big it is… Due to the size of my work it is extremely challenging to store everything at the house… so for now I have filled my sister in-laws house with over 20 + paintings and I have a storage locker where some are housed, and then my house… drying wall in the bedroom and one entire room dedicated to my collection.. … on top of that every wall in every room has paintings hanging on it… even Sean’s room..lol… I actually have a series hanging in my garage…which consists of 39 different paintings…..so as creative as it takes to be an artist, you need to exercise the same creativity when it comes to storage…….so to help with gaining storage space… all paintings through the end of May will be 50% off the retail price for those that have signed up on our weekly blog…… remember signing up is free and it makes you smarter….
have a great week everyone
……peace
