Post 449: Inside the Studio of Sandra Lewin

Inside the Studio of Sandra McClelland Lewin

A new feature we can start on our PWAS Artistry Spin Blog is "Inside the Studio". For our first studio, belonging to Prince William Art Society member, Sandra McClelland Lewin, she had sent me this link to Gallery System Art Displays that had asked for feedback on her purchase of their art hanging system, from several years ago. Thus the idea for PWAS Member Studios was born!

Prince William Art Society Member Sandra McClelland Lewin

PWAS Member Sandra, has been a member of the Prince William Art Society since 2014 and has served the art group holding several positions. She was the President of PWAS from 2020-2021, she's been the member of various gallery, location, and nominating committees, and is the current Vice President of PWAS (2024-2025). Her art experience, professionalism, and dedication has benefited PWAS in countless ways and she's been a leading force in helping getting PWAS on the map of Prince William County and beyond.

How Do You Hang Your Art in Studio?

Sandra's been using this kind of hanging system in her own home for a few years now and she highly recommends its use. In several places around her home, she's using the Gallery System Art Display, and I can say, having seen her studio, hanging art this way is very efficient, clean and certainly saves the walls!

Gallery System Art Displays - Look around their website, lots of great info about displaying art too.

The hanging system is used on three walls around Sandra's studio.

Sandra uses the hanging shoe racks to store her assorted tubes of paint as well as spray paint.

Sandra designed this studio for herself when she moved into her home. She had the wire baskets already to organize her supplies so part of her design had to include under the counter space for ease of access to her crafting materials. One of her favorite things about the studio though, is a big sink in the counter on the back wall.

A big thankyou to Sandra for showing us her studio!

Hey PWAS Members! If you want your studio to be featured on a similar blog post, please send me several photos of your studio space, a little about you, and what you would like to say about your creative space.
