Studio Storage is complicated. Everything needs to be quickly accessible for different uses, and it has to be flexible. I have used these plastic storage bins for years. They come with wheels and some of them slide easily under my work tables. Each of them holds items that align with the table they’re under. The tall one is narrow enough to fit snuggly in between the doorway and the closet without me having to move anything. I bought them years ago at Target but I’m sure you can get them at many different locations that are convenient for you.
In this unit I store hammers, screwdrivers, rulers, various types of tape and glue, twine, rubber bands, compass devices and much more.
This unit is near where I do my drawings, watercolor and colored pencil work. It has all sorts of supplies to support the various mediums.
Under my mat cutting table, I keep all my framing materials. Drills and drill bits, D hooks & screws, wire, tape, a machine for inserting pins to hold prints & mats in place for mounting under glass.
Underneath my painting table is storage for different mediums for different types of paint. Regular oil paints and water-soluble oils. I have varnish materials too. In there are also paper palettes for the rare case when I’m not using my glass palette.
These daily studio notes lead toward my 2026 solo exhibitions in New York City and Poughkeepsie, NY.
