Hello Art Residency!
One of my goals is to be part of an art residency. I applied to many, but to be honest not only was I never selected but I don’t think the timing was right.
I loved the concept of doing my first one semi-locally, so I can still sleep in my own bed, but have the experience of working on sight somewhere else. Going back to school really changed the way I approach my work. I’m more comfortable working around others, with interruptions, pushing my creative ideas, and experiencing the process of making art in a space other than my home studios.
I applied to ONE this year, and I am thrilled to share I was ACCEPTED into The Caumsett Foundation’s Artist in Residency program for an 8 week period during August and September. I am going to share more with you as it gets closer but some highlights are:
I will work at Caumsett park, with open studio hours that you will be able to come visit me and see what I am up to
I will host a community workshop, painting en plein air (AKA outside!) with my handmade watercolors, similar to this one
I will create a collection of work focused on the theme Caumsett in Color: A Study of Earth and Texture
A group exhibition with the participating artists the beginning of November

As the residency gets closer I will share more, and while I am there I encourage you if you’re local to reach out to see how you can experience this alongside me. Thank you to the Caumsett AIR committee for selecting me for this incredible opportunity.
