I’d declutter, but my clutter is all fun, and I’m keeping it.

My setup has three stations that I access by swivelling my chair. Since I work on multiple pieces at a time, I have portable boards I swap out and place on the main board, or place on my computer desk where I can work flat or get natural light. There are flat files behind the drawing board, more in the next room, and files in the closet. My studio is spread over two rooms, with more storage in an outbuilding. There’s space to work in many mediums and to try different things, but it’s easy to lose track of it all, so I stay organised.
