As a part of activities as a group, I had an opportunity to do an artist talk. It was not a requirement. What you do for the group is totally up to the individual resident. In my artist talk, I talk about the stories behind the work that I don't normally write in the artist statement.
Daily conversations with other artists and writers were nourishing, heartwarming, and thought-provoking. We were a mix of visual artists and writers. It was the first time I attended "reading" events by writers. Here, Annita is reading her work at the Open Studios event.
This is the formal dining room for dinner for everybody to get together, but this is not the formal formal dining room.
I even got to swim in the pool! I enjoyed watching the beautiful colors of the pool with the house in the background.
