As a creative, one of my favorite things in the world is to step into the creative space of another. I love when an artist shares their space, how they use it, a peek into their favorite tools and even what they are currently working on. I hope you will join me in the An Artist Studio series!
I hope it will encourage you to cherish your own creating space. I started on the kitchen table, built our business in an unfinished basement, filmed our first courses in a transformed dining room, my last studio was huge and now much smaller. I know that I will find a creative space no matter where we go next or wherever we travel. The space you have is perfect if you are showing up and creating in it!
Previous studio tours: Sandi Hester, Diane Reeves, Jan McCarthy, Sheila Atchley, Aimee Irel Bishop, Julia Muller. and Stephanie Lee.
This month we have been welcomed into the studio of Nathifa Sligh.

Nathifa -Thank you so much for sharing your creative studio space! I loved seeing the teepee and the whole idea of cocooning. You inspired me to create a little cocooning space in my studio.
I just loved her. I loved her studio and the fact she made a little space for her husband! She is inspiring and you can feel that she is kind.
This was a wonderful way to spend 15 – 20 minutes of my afternoon. I love seeing other people’s spaces and her’s is just lovely!
I wish I lived closer to her so we could be friends!
The email from Jeanne that contained your studio tour was the first email I opened today because your beautiful was visible on the header as I scrolled through initially to deselect those videos that I wasn’t going to send to the trash folder without opening. I love how you envisioned your creative space and was able to utilize the limited vertical spaces in the structure while honoring your desire and need for visual stimulation and inspiration.
I feel like you rose to the challenge presented by the tools of your creativity which are small, and in my case, easily overlooked if not directly in front of me. Your shelving solution is genius. I am a 75 year old woman enjoying a solitary life and I appreciate that you made space for your partner and your children to be with you in your studio space. I am about to start my day and I know I will carry this video conversation with you this beautiful morning. Thank you, Nathifa.
Thank you so much for inviting us into your creative space! You have made each of your spaces welcoming and beautiful. Great spaces to create.
I love that you made it welcoming for your family.
This inspired me so much!!!! A beautiful studio making most of the space you have!! Thank you for sharing! I love the stars and butterflies!! This is truly authentically you!!!
