Thanks Mike and Leslie for your thoughts on this. We currently live in a subdivision (suburb of St. Louis) with the closest business section about a mile away. Our area isn't known for its culture. There is an area closer to downtown with galleries and sidewalk cafes, but for our family, it would be quite expensive to live there.
Hopefully, my work will speak for itself and people will not mind walking through our kitchen and past my 20 year old's messy room to finally reach my (very small) studio in the basement of our home. My work is picking up, so it would be nice to some day either move, or add an addition onto the back of our home where clients could come directly into my studio. In the meantime, it's "work hard"! If anyone has any other thoughts on this or stories to tell, I'd love to hear them! Thanks.
