Not unusual for me, but...I cut and pasted altier to Google and it came out atelier, Meaning the workshop or studio where a master and possibly some assistants or students create work. I am flummoxed as to how Google did that.

Off to the atelier...

I call mine a maintenance building, peacock nursery, studio, shop, or something else depending on the mood and focus.

Things on display in my little office are mostly cards and personal notes and art and objects made by others and myself. This one best represents the space.


The pictures I have up are mostly photos and drawings I've made. Family friend David, long deceased, way too young:


And I display a few things to maintain perspective.
