The Studio The studio is a welcoming place. It’s awash in sunlight with lots of windows. It smells sweet like honey and beeswax. I listen to music most often. Lately, I’ve been listening to Jack Johnson and Chris Isaak. When I’m deep into a project, sometimes I break it up by listening to podcasts. That’s allowed me to lose myself, think about things, as well as focus, which sounds kind of odd but it seems to work. Podcasts have been a great way to round out how I look at the world—listening to other people who have perspectives on creativity or bringing mindfulness forward. The beach and paddle board are right down the studio steps, so there is always an excuse for breaks in nature.
Theresa & Montana I have spent time in Montana fly fishing in the Bitterroot Valley and I have good friends who lived in Missoula, so I enjoyed college football games. The last few years, showing art and doing commission work have led me to Bozeman and Big Sky mostly. I haven’t seen enough but I’ve enjoyed the places I have been and will continue to spend a fair amount of time [in Montana]. I love it here.
