I am headed north! Accepted into the Arctic Circle Residency in March 2023, I have been as patient as possible. It was hard. I leave tomorrow for Norway, and a slow trip north through the country. I join the program Oct 2 in Longyearbyen, in Svalbard, and we set sail on the Antigua. I am one of roughly thirty artists, writers, musicians and scientists aboard. We all have some projects in mind. I have my little painting kit, and a compact stack of colorful fabric to applique, and I will be making notes for larger works to be accomplished once I return home again.
I’m packed. I’m ready. I cannot wait!
