Hi John,
Some people might think that a sprawling studio or a dedicated art room full of fancy supplies is essential to finally embrace their creativity...
...this simply isn't true.
I've known so many makers, artists, and tinkerers who have turned corners of small homes, patios, or garages into mini creative sanctuaries.
The truth is, creativity isn't determined by physical boundaries—it can flourish anywhere.
What really matters isn't the size of your space but how you use what you already have.
Take my simple home studio...

This is a great spot for my short morning art-making routine.
The light is nice, it's in the dining room, so central to the kitchen where I make coffee (important!), and it's an easy spot to clean.
The table here is one we use for all sorts of things: a buffet for parties or team meetings, work space for writing, catch-all space for piles 😜
But in the mornings, it's my art studio.
I clear the table, place a big chipboard mat on top of it, set up the art supplies du jour, and create.
When the paint dries, I put it all away.
