I’m in Orquevaux France for a month at the Chateau Orquevaux residency.

It’s a wonderful, supportive environment bringing artists together to improve, change, collaborate, and investigate their work. Sometimes I will get high anxiety, reminiscent of the school classroom, comparing myself and my work to others. Here at the residency, I realize I belong. I have worked for decades on my craft, so stop comparing and just keep doing.
