Most residencies  have an application process &#8211; and many are competitive, while others are happy to accept many different artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Structure an Artist Residency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some folks enter into a residency with a particular project in mind. Others give themselves permission to do exactly whatever feels right in the moment, whether that&#8217;s switching to a completely new medium, writing about their practice, or going on long walks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Approaching a residency in this way is about giving the imagination a lot of space and permission to go where it will. I approached my week with a little bit of both ideas &#8211; I had watercolor supplies with me, pens and a pencil &#8211; so this would limit what I could create, but I was also open to whatever wanted to emerge. I enjoyed Louise Fletcher&#8217;s reflections on how to approach a residency without expectation &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.louisefletcherart.com\/podcast\/artistresidencies-art-juice-158-h7rkn-l8bfc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I believe it was this episode<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Week-Long Residency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the second year in a row, I&#8217;ve done a week-long artist residency at <a href=\"http:\/\/South Porch Artist Residency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">South Porch Artists&#8217; Residency<\/a> in Summerville, South Carolina. Together with my fellow artist and teacher, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alteredstatesstudio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kristin Peterson,<\/a> we painted, drank coffee, went for walks, ate incredible cauliflower with buffalo sauce, and created more art than we ever would have been capable of at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6299-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6299-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_6299-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Make Your Own Art Residency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wanted to share more with you to inspire you to think about taking time out for art too &#8211; even if it&#8217;s a weekend with friends, or an afternoon. If you started dreaming about this a bit boldly, what would that look like? You might apply for a residency yourself. Or, what about asking your friend with the lake house if she would host you and a few artist friends for a weekend? Or you might start small and host some friends at your house one Saturday evening for an open studio. Art time doesn&#8217;t need to be perfect, it just needs to be. You might jot some notes in your journal as you read this post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s start with the view from my outdoor studio space:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-4-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-4-scaled.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-4-1280x1707.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-4-980x1307.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-4-480x640.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1920px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kinda heavenly, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Japanese Camellias were in bloom, and beginning to fade. Have you ever seen anything decay with so much beauty? As the petals break down, the decay looks like abstract gold trees on the bright pink leaves. These shapes intrigued me, much like the shapes I found in the undersides of a turkey tail mushrooms. I love these connections in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2327\" height=\"2327\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image.jpeg 2327w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-1280x1280.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-980x980.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-480x480.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2327px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I spent a lot of time with this particular bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-3-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-3-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-3-1280x1280.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-3-980x980.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-3-480x480.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2560px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while the end result wasn&#8217;t 100% what I had in mind, I learned a lot and the colors seemed to express a warm, welcoming feeling inside me that bloomed during the residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-5-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-5-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-5-1280x1280.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-5-980x980.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-5-480x480.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2560px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The elongated leaf shapes also spoke to me &#8211; so distinct from the ones I find in the north.

While no one was asking for it, I felt pressure to produce something &#8220;finished.&#8221; Recognizing and naming this feeling helped me loosen its grip on me and I found a balance. As a teacher, it&#8217;s helpful to remember how vulnerable I can feel in the role of &#8220;student,&#8221; or when I show new people my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You deserve some dedicated time for your creativity.
