Michael's Studio

So the end of the summer brought about a change of pace. Michael was painting out in our garage space for the summer while the school finished up their studio spaces for the MFA students. Well we have a lot of stuff in our garage and it came time to move it all to school. It only took two or three trips but we managed to get everything to the new studio space. It's a new one (one of the ones they just finished building) and it's pretty nice. You have to understand the evolution of our studio spaces. Michael used to work in his bedroom since the time he started school at BYU. He lived at the Glenwood where he shared a room and therefore took to doing his art in the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and any other place he could. Then, he moved to a smaller bedroom that he got all to himself. That room was a 10 by 15 room that was insanely packed in tight. Luckily he had a studio space at the school to store and work at. Then he got a bigger room and that was pretty nice for a while. Then when we got married we moved into a two bedroom apartment and split up a 15' x 20' room for both Mary and Michael to work in. So now to have his own space all to himself like he has at school is wonderful. Though, we were going to keep the garage as kind of a make-shift studio space for both of us to work, we ended up having to park the car in there ( I know! imagine using it for what it was designed for!). So here are a few of pictures of the garage setup and the new studio (which by the way, looks much bigger than the pic)
