New Studio

We moved to Kansas City last month and I've spent that time unpacking, setting up, and working amidst the chaos. Things have finally started to calm down and we are starting to live like normal human beings again. Here's my studio:

Studio-1

One thing I want to highlight is the beautiful computer stand my friend Nathan made for me.

In the last few years, Nathan, in addition to all the other things he can do/ is learning to do, became a carpenter. He gave Ruth and I a beautiful plant stand as a going away gift. He asked if there was anything I needed in the studio, and I immediately thought of this. I had been using a rickety plastic plate stand I got from Alco, that never quite seemed up to the task. Now I come into work and have this beautiful, strong work of art that really makes my day every time I see it. I'm also humbled by people who learn and make new wonderful things that solve problems. So thank you, Nathan.

    I love seeing your office. Wish I could get a close-up look at the pictures above the windows and on the wall.
