Robin Beaty & Where Women Create...

I recently visited the very new and absolutely amazing studio of Robin Beaty, built by the artist herself along with master carpenter George Abetti. (Robin documented the entire process on her blog.)

During my visit, Robin showed me a wonderful magazine Where Women Create featuring "inspiring work spaces of extraordinary women". It is a lovely publication with beautiful photographs and represents a variety of spaces and styles...

I think Robin's studio is worthy of a profile -- this is where she creates:

Ventilation is very important when working with encaustic -- there is a trap door so that Robin can open and close her venting as needed.


And continuing upstairs to the office loft...



Complete with a bed she actually made out of old doors!


Wow. I cannot find the right words to communicate how much I LOVE this space. Well done Robin + George! I drove home with big ideas of how to transform my own studio space, which is in the attic of our new home....hmmm.

Oh, and I almost forgot -- Robin wrapped up a beautiful new painting for me to bring back with me...
