SUNDAY STUDIO DAYS - CAILEIGH LAMBIE

 It's Sunday folks, so you know what that means...

WELCOME BACK to our Sunday Studio Days!

This week we are exploring the creative space of Caileigh Lambie!

Caileigh posed with her 16"x40" painting "Sensitive",  available at the gallery!

 "My “studio” has changed from place to place and room to room so many times I don’t really have a proper set up. At the moment I mostly paint in my dining room, but in the past I’ve also used my bedroom, living room, a den, wherever I can find good lighting, really. My current apartment is pretty dark so I take what I can get."

Caileigh's lovely set up near the window with the good light. 

We asked Caileigh... 

Do you listen to music/tv/podcasts while you work in your studio? If so, what's your

favourite?

"I rotate between listening to music or listening to audiobooks. Usually it’s music. I love finding new albums so most often if I have music on it’s an album that I’ve never listened to before. However right now I’m retraining my focus so I’m not listening to anything while I paint! That way I don’t rely on background noise as a crutch to focus, and I can be more intentional & clear on what I’m doing."

-Do you like to work in solitude or with others?

   "I love both! Usually I paint alone but I love doing art hangouts with friends. I also spend most weekends at my boyfriends’ place and we work on our art together in the mornings. It’s a nice change from the usual solitude."

What activities outside of your art practice do you like to enjoy?

  "I love being out in nature when the weathers nice, I’m also a huge advocate for having a consistent yoga/meditation practice. Sometimes in the summer I’ll just go to the woods and read, write or meditate amongst the trees. It’s one of my favourite things to do."

Do you have a pet/friend that hangs out in the studio with you? Include a pic!

   "My son/cat Kyle spends most days painting with me, he loves to sit on my lap while I paint"

Where do you get your inspiration?

    "I get my inspiration from nature, poetry, music, and whatever ideas my brain conjures up through that. If I feel uninspired it also helps to look at art online and get motivated by all the talented artists. I’m especially inspired by dark imagery/artwork."

Doesn't this look like a wonderful place to spend hours?
