Artist as Collector- Studio Wall

Artist as Collector can also refer to what we put on our studio walls for reference, ideas or inspiration.  Here's what one of my studio walls looks like at the moment.

I utilize an electric cable on my concrete wall to stick postcards - a changing exhibition of sorts.


There are also clippings from magazines of lighting, mostly because I am interested in how they hang- the one double page spread on left above is from a Hyundai ad (!)   of a victory celebration at Auburn University. I think it's rolls and rolls of TP, flying, hanging from trees...so beautiful!

I also love quotes, there is one from Steve Jobs in the top photo, and this is the newest addition to my collection. My friend Marian brought it back from Barcelona for me.

Good ole Pablo, he sure got some things right.

What's on your studio walls right now?

We shall get there

“Rivers know this: There is no hurry. We shall get there. ”

A. A. Milne (1882-1956); English author, best known for his books about Winnie-the-Pooh

This reminder arrivedin my mailbox from Values.com.  It is so good for me personally, that I am considering having it tattooed somewhere - my forehead maybe?  


Well, maybe not, but Winnie wasn't the only one on a journey to find the honey pot, and look at all the adventures he had along the way.

“Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breath more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours! ”

Swedish Proverb -

Love this... came into my email box on April 5, 2011 from Values.com.  You could also say "Talk less, LISTEN more... to others and to your true self.


Make art, make art, make art... my new mantra. Off to my studio....


Have a wonderful First Friday of 2012.  How will you be celebrating that today or this evening?
