I just listened to a podcast about promoting your artwork. One thing discussed was dedication to consistent studio time. Are you an artists? Do you consider yourself a professional or a hobby artists? How much time do you spend in your studio creating art?Discuss.

great question!
lately i have been away from my studio...almost a mini sabbatical. I find myself working in waves of frenzied activity bookended with research and contemplation.
There is no question that when I am in the studio groove I can lose myself in my work and the quality of the work improves.
I've been contemplating and some new ideas./images have come forth. It's a little scary because the techniques are new to me... but I am excited and ready to leap into it!
It is an interesting question indeed. Altough I do consider myself a professional artist, I do that also on the side among other things. Sometimes, I get a new idea, an inspiraton or a new technique that I need to master and I get in the groove of things and do it. But sometimes, life get's in the middle and there other responsibilities that they need to be taken care of...... you know what I mean.
Artistically speaking,

This summer I was able to develop a schedule that included studio time almost daily. I must say that sustained and regular connection to "producing" art made a difference. Art infuses my daily life...I look at my world processing color, shape, form; I reach for inspiration from the masters in my art library; I nourish my soul with art and cultural experiences. But finding the right balance of getting ready and actually doing art is tricky business for me. I usually do a series of paintings on a theme in one long, sustained block of time (and then feel spent afterwards!). But I really enjoyed the rhythm when I was able to "schedule" art every day.
