Artist Testimonial
“My time at this residency as an artist has reminded me how intertwined my creativity is with the pacing of my life. From an acreage that was once abandoned, it been transformed into a place that's generative and blossoming with life down to the microfauna. It has been amazing to see my work and my practice take on the same sustainable quality of love and vibrancy that has been put into this land."
