Virtual Artist Residency
LOCATION: Jennie's Studio, North Durham, NC

The Virtual Artist Residency, encouraged by the Thrive Together Network, is a month long commitment that I define.

The focus is on expansion; both of ideas and physically in the construct of the work. Subscribe to my newsletter or visit my Instagram feed for updates.
