In Part 3 of The Lonely Artist series, we talk about something practical — but deeply emotional. Do you even have a place to paint? What if your “studio” is the corner of the laundry room? What if your supplies are tucked away in a closet and hard to reach? What if you feel isolated not just emotionally — but physically? In this episode, we explore: • Feeling stifled when you don’t have a dedicated art space • Painting in shared or temporary environments • The emotional weight of not having room for your creativity • Creating a portable or flexible home studio • Overcoming the belief that you “can’t really be an artist” • Giving yourself permission to claim space — even if it’s small Being an artist doesn’t require a perfect studio. It requires intention. Sometimes it begins at the kitchen table. Sometimes in the laundry room. Sometimes in a quiet corner no one else notices. But the act of making space — physically and emotionally — is where identity begins. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite have room to be an artist, this conversation is for you. Online courses
