The Challenges of Working at Home

The Challenges of Working at Home

Now that I’m working from home the challenge has been making a place for my art practice that fits, without jarring, into my home and family life.  I love my home, my husband and my family – and my garden.  I love being a wife, a mother, a sister, daughter and friend.  I enjoy cooking, washing, cleaning – and reading lots of books – and I also love painting.  I have the immense privilege of really loving so many aspects of my life. 

I have no strict timetable for painting but I do carve out time when I’m very focused and single minded about it – and then there are other times when it has to take a back seat.  The ebb and flow of balancing my priorities makes life interesting and never static.  So far it’s working well.
