My ten days in residence at Elsewhere studios were magical and inspiring!
It was my first time visiting Colorado and I was instantly captivated by the region's topography.
The town of Paonia with the gorgeous mountains reminded me of where I grew up as a child in Jamaica. I felt at home.
I loved that every day I stepped outside there was the inspiration for my work as an artist, the natural environment and the culture of the town will be a part of future paintings and I cant wait to create them.
One of the best aspects of Elsewhere residency is that I was able to bring my son with me. It was wonderful to be able to experience the special moments together as we explored the town of Paonia and the warm and friendly people.
I would like to extent special thank you to the Sustainable Arts Foundation for their generous contribution that made it possible for me to attend the residency with my son.
