Artist in Residence - Chateau d’Orquevaux Artist and Writers Residency, Orquevaux, France
November 2022
An open studio residency which provided the time and space to develop a cohesive body of work. The 12 pieces I created while there enhance the allegory of the unicorn I'm striving to evolve and share. My stay was a full 4 weeks with two open studio days where I had the chance to talk about my work to other creatives. I took part in two art and business classes and shared my input with the other residents during their open studios. I was awarded the Denis Diderot Grant.
