RobinLucianoBeaty's Profile

Again, Thank you ALL for your amazing comments and emails. My studio really is a true 'labor of love' for me so I appreciate all of this awesome recognition.

To answer just a few questions:
OCJen: Yes the bookcase is an IKEA Expedit altered with doors and baskets to store/conceal the more un-organizable materials I use in my encaustic paintings. (such as vintage lace, trims, crochets, antique photographs and letters, etc)
The brown flat file unit is a piece I picked up years ago unfinished which I hand painted. Yes, I use it for some office items but its mostly for housing additional art supplies. (I can never get enough storage!)

Sarah: The green circle pillows are a rare Homegoods score. One of those "do a little dance in the isle while no one is looking" find. ;-)

Meaghan: My studio doubles as a gallery when I open it to the public for shows. I move most of the furniture out to allow for a crowd (another advantage of furniture on wheels!)

And because I've received so many email inquiries regarding all of the fun little DIY projects in the space (like the curtains, bed/bedding, etc) I'm starting another blog soon which will detail the process of these projects and more. I'll be linking it to my existing blog:

Again, thanks to AT, Tanya LaCourse and all of the folks who have commented on my space so far and supported my work!! :)

I've had a ton of inquiries on which pieces from the photos are for sale. They are all for sale! My website is more of an online portfolio of my work and most of the pieces have been sold but I absolutely have many additional pieces available right now and I'm always working on new ones.
I'll be updating my blog soon with what is available and where you can purchase my work if you are interested.
In the meantime, you can also check out

the wonderful gallery that hosted my last solo exhibition where many of my pieces are available to view and purchase online.
Thanks!!

...and I agree completely with MisaL! Tanya's photographs of my space are stunning.

Thank you! I love working in a space that I had such a huge part in creating myself. Its truly a wonderful feeling and I'm very grateful I was given the opportunity.

The 'wall of little works' is a group of my 6" x 6" encaustic paintings from a series "Above and Beyond" which I've been working on for the past 3 years. I've created over 300 of them so far! They look really fantastic grouped in large grids (I've shone up to 40 together) but they sell individually. People really like them in groups of 3 and 9 as well!

I definitely have info on my blog about the fireplace and baluster construction. (you may just need to scroll back a bit) The wood stove surround was actually one of the toughest jobs since the temp was only 20 degrees here at the time. I had to tent off the area and use multiple space heaters to prevent my fingers and materials from freezing! But it was all well worth it. That little Vermont Casting stove does a great job! It provided me with the one thing I needed to work in here right away during a New England winter...lots of HEAT!

The balusters are actually EMT piping which I absolutely love!! One of my favorite and final steps in the building process and SO much fun!

Thank you! It is absolutely my 'home away from home'! (25 feet from home to be exact)
It's been such a labor of love and is now my constant oasis.
I recorded the whole building process on my blog if you'd like to check out more... www.robinlucianobeaty.blogspot.com
