Exciting News: My New Studio Space at 1853

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news—after six months of saving, I’ve secured a new studio space! As a low-income, disabled artist, finding an affordable, accessible space has always felt like an impossible dream. Though the space is temporary, it will allow me to focus on my project Solar Maximum without the limitations I’ve faced for so long.

I’ve been working in a cramped bedroom that’s barely 2 meters squared. As a disabled artist, this small, unsafe space made it difficult to work comfortably. The physical strain and mental stress of such an environment were overwhelming. One of the most painful reminders of how unsuitable the space it was when a sewing needle went through my foot while I was working, highlighting just how unsafe it had become.

Now, I finally have a dedicated, safe space to create. This new studio will give me the physical and mental room I need to be more productive and creative. It will allow me to experiment with new techniques, explore ideas, and fully develop Solar Maximum in ways I couldn’t before.

This studio is more than just a workspace; it’s a sanctuary for my art and well-being. I’m excited to see where it will take me as I continue to develop Solar Maximum and grow as an artist.
