Log-In |

To awaken each morning to a day that is entirely yours is truly extraordinary. It is a difficult thing to describe — outside the realm of ordinary life, but a daily event as an artist-in-residence. My time here facilitated an intensity of focus and freedom I had never experienced previously. I discovered a tremendous amount about my studio practices, made considerable technical and conceptual progress in my work, and found lasting friendships with remarkable people.
