Today I want to talk a little bit about what I do and where. I present to you one of my favorite corners of my house, my studio. Even if it is sometimes spread out all over the place I consider this the best spot for me to get inspired. This studio serves also as a classroom where I teach art to my wonderful students. An easel, bunch of brushes, chalkboard, lots of books and a little mess on a big desk, what else can I ask?

I  sometimes use the walls as an inspiration board where I stick sketches, pictures, drawings as a part of my creative process. Is not a loft-style warehouse, with high ceilings or sky lights but it works perfectly for me and I love it!  Although during winter gets extremely cold in there and I have to take everything out and move to my living room. Extremely Messy!!!!!!!!!

I just finished work for an exhibition so what I am working now is organizing and classifying all my stuff, every day,  30 minutes. Getting rid of cluttering and clearing everything. And I’m already seeing results!! I’ve realized that my creative juice flow better when everything is organized  and I don’t have to spend so much time to find the right tools for when inspiration comes. Also I’ve found the value of searching for inspiration in absolute silence, usually I’m used to paint surrounded by music and many distractions but I’m finding more and more how the quietness can let me “hear” and concentrate on different things that need to be expressed in art. I guess I’m finding a new place, a new season and new challenges to create in a genuine way from the heart.

Something else happening is my new Etsy shop!! www.cosanueva.etsy.com I joined Etsy.com last February but my shop wasn’t up until April. Here you will find some vintage jewelry, prints and illustrations that I’ve been working lately. I hope you find something you like and inspire you. I’m very excited about it and please  visit often because I will be updating it. Thanks again for visiting and joining on my creative journey.
