End of An Era

Sadly, after nine awesome years, I went to my Bushwick studio last month for the very last time and moved out. Due to the pandemic and too many artists moving out at the same time, it was no longer tenable for the six of us that share the space to keep it going.

The studio was my second home, my refuge where I could make art, hang out with friends and have a community. Most of all I’m going to miss all the great friendships and conversations I’ve had there with Jisho, Andrew, Kyrre, Tati, Paz and so many more. I’m forever grateful to Jisho, who was able to manage the studio for nearly a decade!

I can’t recommend enough trying to find a community of like-minded people that exists outside of work and home. I was lucky I found mine at the studio. I hope to find a similar place again when the pandemic is over. But in the meantime, I’ve been painting from home for the last couple of months and it’s been going well. Although my apartment is much more crowded now that I’ve squeezed a small studio into my space, I’m able to paint just much as I did when I had a studio.

I’ve collected a lot of photos of the studio from over the years and thought I’d share them here. Photos include some of the amazing sunset views from our roof and windows.

Richardson St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn (18 x 14 in.)
$720.00

This view is from the corner of Richardson Street and Meeker Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a couple blocks away from my apartment. I was drawn to this view because of the great lighting and because of all the great color on the buildings — the bright green cornices to the right, the fun red and blue Kalmon Dolgin realtor logo and of course the fact the trees were in peak fall foliage.
