Nartana Thomas Holzweiler In The Studio
I have a wonderful playground. Due to the warm climate I pretty much work outside most of the time, surrounded by semi tropical jungle.
During monsoon season it gets a bit challenging with humidity off the charts.
All in all it's the best place to be and luckily the pandemic hasn't affected us that much.
