Pilar’s Studio is as colorful as her life and home. She lives in the Avenues of Salt Lake, and her studio is inside the old garage, located at the back of her beautiful garden, beyond the wisteria trellis. The entrance is through a brick-paved back patio. The walls are basic white, but almost all of the additional components have been painted bright colors: yellow, magenta and blue. The space is clean and well organized, but there are surfaces where the accruetrements of creativity have piled up. Up above, a large skylight illuminates the space. Peaceful, beautiful, and energized, Pilar’s Studio is a wonderful quiet urban space developed by the artist, as the artist’s, for the work of creation.
