Spotlight: Work Spaces

In the spotlight this week are the fantastic work spaces of two AFB Members, Christa Sorauf and Angie Bowman.  We can really see how each designers’ workspace influences and reflects their designs.

First, we’ll take a tour of Christa Sorauf’s new office for her company, Jolie Kolaj.  We love the bright pink!

BEFORE MOVE-IN
“We just moved and this is what the room looked like, but I thought it had great possibilities as it’s at the front of the house, right by the front door and has great light!”

WORK SPACE TREASURES
“This buddha is a peaceful reminder for me to slow down and be mindful of my creative pursuits and orchids are my favorite flower so I have them all over my house.”

 

 

Next up is the unique space where Angie Bowman of inkSpotts works.  The vintage, rustic charm of this space definitely comes through in Angie’s illustration style.

UNEXPECTED PERK…Kingsley!
“Everyone gets a friendly greeting from Kingsley, the resident turkey at Goat Farm Arts Center. Don’t worry, he won’t harm you, the only thing that he may be interested in might be your lunch!”
