RECIPIENT OF A RESIDENCY AT HOTEL SAINTE-VALIÈRE, FRANCE
When you realize you can actually do it all – when you figure your kids can be without you a full week, when you manage to convince an art foundation to financially support your adventures, and when you have the best husband that pushes you to follow just that dream – the one of doing it all. Well, that’s when you wake up in a spacious room where the sunlight is peeking through big windows revealing the narrow streets of Sainte-Valière, a small village in the Minervois region of France. During four months each year, this three-story stone house opens up for creative people to come and write, think, draw, explore, or just dream. This is where I will be, during a beautiful week in September.
