Amanda Hutchison, a local graphic designer, heeded our call and let us know about where she makes space for her art. Like many local artists, that space is a room in her home that she has set up to suit the needs of her company, Ferocity Graphics. She deals mainly in promotional products, screenprinting and custom apparel.

If you would like to have your studio featured in the Artist Spaces online tour, send us a photo and a filled out questionnaire like the one below to [email protected] and we’ll add you to the feature. Now, here’s more from Amanda:

Years in this space: About six months so far. I just moved into this space in April 2009. But I made it more organized with the bookshelf and the extra table to the right for printing materials, etc.

What do you enjoy most about working here? I would say the lighting. I can put the two spotlights on to have a more romantic setting rather than a bright room. I also like the convenience of my bookshelf to my left for references and my printer to my right for easy access.

How would you like to improve it if you could? I would like to get a new side table, because the one I have wobbles when the printer is going. I would also like to add some filing cabinets and possibly some shelving units to the walls for more storage. I could definitely use more storage for organization.
