Today, I want to share a significant milestone for me: moving to a new art studio.
Change can be daunting, especially when it involves leaving behind a space filled with memories and creative energy. However, as artists, we thrive on exploration and evolution, and sometimes, that means embracing new beginnings.
For years, my old studio served as my sanctuary—a place where I could lose myself in my work, surrounded by familiar sights and sounds. Every paint splatter on the floor, every messy paint pot, every brush stroke on the walls, told a story.
The decision to move wasn't easy. I grappled with doubts and uncertainties, fearing that I might lose my artistic mojo in the transition. My mind has wandered to all the pieces I’ve created here (the last being https://www.tombutlerartist.com/products/neonnights). But deep down, I knew that the move was needed. So, with a mix of trepidation and excitement, I took the plunge!
As I walked into my new studio for the first time, I was greeted by bare walls and empty spaces—a blank canvas, so to speak. At that moment, I felt a surge of possibility and creativity waiting to be unleashed.
Setting up my new studio is a labour of love—a process of arranging, rearranging, and infusing the space to be right for me. Creating the organised chaos that is a functioning art studio. I’m still in the process of making this my new studio home, but slowly but surely, it’s beginning to take shape.
This move isn’t about leaving something behind, it’s about moving forward and embracing the next chapter of my artistic journey.
So, to all my fellow artists out there, I urge you not to fear change but to embrace it—to embrace the unknown and all the possibilities it holds. Whether it's a new studio, a new medium, or a new perspective, let change be your muse, guiding you to greater heights of creativity and expression.
As for me, I'm excited to see where this new studio will take me—to explore, to experiment, and to continue growing as an artist. After all, the journey is just as important as the destination, and I'm ready to embark on this new chapter with an open heart and a paintbrush in hand.
