What is your typical studio routine? I usually arrive around 9:30, eat breakfast and then get stuck in. I begin the morning with some typing, lately I have been writing what I call ‘piece poetry’ where I grab words from books and try to make a semi-understandable usually quite floaty bit of poetry in one…

How do you describe your practice? My practice is constantly shifting, in this moment I find myself combining traditional techniques with contemporary elements to create intriguing and challenging artworks. The painting’s limited colour palette portrays a feeling of depth and melancholy. Strong feelings may be evoked, and the subtleties of light and shadow can be…

How do you describe your practice? My practice is in a state of flux, always. One minute I’ll think I know what I’m doing and what I’m focusing on and it just gets away from me; the ideas flow and it turns into something else, I just float away with it. Then I come back…

What is your typical studio routine? Recently I changed jobs, so now that I am working midweek, I’m transitioning into working in the studio weekends and evenings. Arriving in the studio my first step is usually coffee as I get settled into the space. I often begin tidying a small space to work that day,…

What is your typical studio routine? Most studio days begin in the morning, outdoors. I always, always go for a long walk before painting. There is a brightening quality to moving through whatever weather the day offers. Music and motion meet here, offering a doorway into attentiveness. I find tangible music in the shapes of…

What is your typical studio routine? My routine varies depending on the project. When I get to the studio, it takes me a while to settle in; I put on music and clear the space from the day before. I’m usually waiting on paintings to dry between layers, so it’s good to have a few…

What is your typical studio routine? I try to go into the studio at least 2-3 times a week. I am more of a evening/late night painter. I have always found I work better in the evenings. I am not sure if it is because everywhere seems quieter at night or that it takes that…

What is your typical studio routine?I’m still getting familiar with my new studio at QSS which I moved into at the start of September. I think it takes a bit of time to get comfortable in a new studio space, and the studio environment is very important in my process, but I feel like my…

What is your typical studio routine? My typical studio routine varies from week to week, as I work Monday to Friday and as a parent, I find it’s difficult to prioritise time for the studio, it requires a lot of planning and organisation to accommodate. When I am working in the studio, my time spent…

What is your typical studio routine? I have a full time job as well as being an artist so I just try to get in to the studio as much as I can around this. How do you describe your practice? I’m primarily a painter, though I do work with drawing and recently printmaking, too.…

How do you describe your practice? My go-to response is that I am ‘an artist-maker, of both things and experiences’. In general, my work is very material and process led but it’s always a response to immaterial, liminal and ephemeral things. It’s often very fragile, made of multiple components and relies on some complex set…

What is your typical studio routine? I usually start early morning. I am not a night owl painter at all.  I prefer not to spend long hours painting. Probably six-ish hours usually, but if I am close to a deadline it will be a different story. How do you describe your practice? I am a…

What is your typical studio routine? I come into the studio most Tuesdays as I work the other days of the week. I usually come in around 10 or 11, and eat my lunch straight away, and have a cup of coffee. Me and my studio buddy leave books out on the couch, and I…

What is your typical studio routine? I wok methodically and have a pretty set routine. I get to the studio mid-morning, get coffee (very important) and go through my list of things to do for the day. If there are small, practical things to do e.g. attaching hangings, a quick coat of something etc I…

What is your typical studio routine? Currently, I make sure I have lots of snacks and check on my plants.  I try and get any emails or research out of the way and then I start to work on the knitting machine or drawing board.  I have music, a podcast or an audiobook on my…

What is your typical studio routine? My studio routine generally begins by checking and responding to emails, then moving onto any sculptural or digital works that I’m working on. I’m quite careful to try and divide my time equally between working in sculpture and digital media, so when I’m at the studio, I generally focus…

1. What is your typical studio routine? My typical studio routine would be to arrive with fresh eyes and set a target to complete by the end of my session. I’d pick a playlist or podcast to listen to then crack on with my work, starting by cleaning the palette and putting out paint for…

1. What is your typical studio routine? I tend to work more clearly and be more productive in the morning. A typical studio day is to arrive early and get straight to work picking up from where I left off the day before. My son was born last year so that has changed my studio…

01. What is your typical studio routine? I get in at about 9.30 after school drop offs, and I tend to work through until 19.00, often with just a convenience break. I will get so immersed that I often skip eating unless I am well enough prepared to bring food with me. It’s an intense…

What is your typical studio routine? I graduated from UU in 1996 and was fortunate enough to get a studio at QSS the following year. Over the years, circumstances have led to changes in my routine but I have always carved out time for my studio. Working primarily as a painter, I find it essential…
