Have you ever walked into a person’s creative space and felt in awe? That’s what it was like looking into Berene’s office where her fabric stash was… and it’s why I had to (had to!) title this piece “Organized Chaos”. (Drawn in March 2012 measures 12″high. 24″ deep-1″. Drawn on a wood canvas with coloured pencils.)
Berene made me swear to use blinders when I entered the room, however being a sprawler myself, I really didn’t think it was all that bad. If anything I found it inspirational. Books… tid bits of collections… the room oozed of creativity.
Unfortunately, Berene has since moved from that wonderful North Vancouver home… BUT she is now in the midst of setting up a new studio (with a very lovely view, I might add!).
Actually, that reminds me of a link my friend Esmari sent me… 40 inspiring Workspaces of the Famously Creative. I particularly relish the messy, chaotic ones, although I aim for a Georgia O’keefe kind of space (in my dreams!).

As usual – beautiful. I framed the notecards I got from you a while back, and gave them to my friends in April. Everyone loved them! You need to get more sets up on your etsy site, along with other items. You would have no problem selling!
