I am excited to announce I have accepted an invitation & scholarship to participate in the 4-week, Session III Residency (Sept 5 – Oct 2) at the Horned Dorset Colony. The 250 acre site in the rural hamlet of Leonardsville, N.Y., includes a working apple orchard, hopyard, organic vegetable gardens, waterfall, and miles of walking trails through the hilly woodlands and pastures of a former Horned Dorset breed sheep farm.
The founders have graduate degrees in the arts and they have donated multiple houses and 250 acres of land to advance the Colony’s mission and insure its future growth. They also own The Horned Dorset Inn, a long-established and successful inn and restaurant which provides the Colony with a dining facility as well as an elegant venue for fundraising events, exhibitions and cultural engagement with the public.
My hope is to spend time working on integrating my decades-long xerography process with my passion for painting and fiber arts. I am looking for a path forward, and HDC has generously offered me the time and space to work it out. I am filled with gratitude.
