Hello Jess! This is your first video that I've ever seen and it made me feel saying 'hello' to you, your space, your cat nad dog and your monstera :) It's a pleasure for me to 'meet' all of you and your work online. Very soothing video. Gave me an inspiration for good, mindful, in touch with myself, day. I subscribe your channel. Have a good time creating :)

Hi! I’m so glad I found your video today. I’m just starting the process of making a space in my home for an art studio. I love both the ideas you suggested and listening to your soothing voice. Keep up the good work 😊

I have chronic fatigue so my art is from my bed, in my living room. I have painted some murals in my house too. ❤

Jess-you are so lovely…I love the painting that declared itself a landscape. So clear to me, all the fuss and arrangement of things is the artists’ life, I’ve been like this since I was a child. It’s bliss!

It was a pleasure watching how you overcame your obsticales in persuing your intrest in your art and studio. Great ideas! I am interested in sewing but have been procastinating. I love making rag dolls because i find them very cute. I'm also planning to make a love quilt using my late mum's scarfs, shawls and garments too as a remembarance of her. It's been less than 3 months since she passed. I guess i'll givee myself some more time? However, Watching you has given me more inspiration to move forward. ❤

Love this video, Jess! Your studio is such an inspiration in the way you have it beautifully organized. Thank you for sharing!🌺

I’m so glad I found your channel 😊 I love your style and I so relate to how my creativity is nourished by space up well. I am in between studios at the moment and yours is a real inspiration.

I just found your video and channel. I appreciate so much, your thoughtfulness in balancing creative time and other details that make your art process easier and more fulfilling. I'm itching to retire in the next couple of years and have been gleaning ideas for setting up an unused upstairs room for an art space. Your ideas for keeping art tools handy but organized, and the drop cloth floor covering are inspiring. I will be keeping tabs on your video content now that I've found it!

Such a nice calming video, as always. Your studio is lovely. That paint tube hanger is so great. I wish I had more tubes so I could have one too.

So happy to see a new video from you appear in my feed - your videos are so creatively inspiring and have the most wonderful calming feeling - they always bring to mind the importance of intention when doing. Thank you for sharing your creative process 💫

Hola Jess, soy de México. me llamo Héctor.
Me encanta lo que haces y la manera pausada como lo expresas. Tu estudio es hermoso.
Apenas te vi. éste es el primer video tuyo que veo y me encanto.
Yo no me he animado todavía a pintar de forma constante. lo hago de vez en cuando, pero al verte me inspira para hacerlo de manera más recurrente y constante.
Te envío saludos y un abrazo fraterno.
Héctor.

Thank you Jess. It is so helpful to see how other people organize their art supplies. And I am so
impressed with how handy you are with that drill. Kai

[dorisschmeichel]

Wow, I just happened to come across your station. I so enjoyed watching you go through your day. It was so relaxing. I will be sure to watch more.

[pinkangel]

Love love love your videos ❤❤ i really like how you permit yourself to experience other mediums and styles! I feel like flowers are your current muse! Sooo beautiful! Very of often as artists we tend to stay in the same style over and over, afraid to try something new that would remove us from the consistency of our “known to all” art style. What freedom stepping outside our comfort zone brings 😊 namaste 🙏

[MyCozyAbode]

The studio is sooo vast and the ambiance feels great too❤❤❤❤

[alisonable]

So lovely to get organised. Such joy ❤

Hi Jess. I watched this as I sit on the floor(!) surrounded by teaching binders as I sort and recycle and get ready to get rid of loads of stuff. I, too, want to start working on new art projects but my small space is so cluttered with things I “might need someday”(ahem) but that I never end up using.
Part of my issue is that when my space is perfectly tidy, I can’t find anything. I need to see my art supplies and then my creativity jumps up and down clapping when it finds that perfect quin violet and I put it next to, oh, I don’t know, a manganese blue that glows in the dark. You know the one by DS.
Alas, dear soul, I swear we think so often in similar patterns. I’d love to share my art with you but don’t want to here as it’s not about me.
I love how you delicately replaced Pierre’s paw. So cute.

Be well. And may you wear your day with ease.
Dana
