France Fall Art Residency 2024
A welcome art retreat at Chateau Orquevaux this October. Invited into its Art Residency, a painting from her studio time is now included in their collection.

 “I immerse into a fairytale environment deep in the countryside of rural France. For two weeks I paint in a tiny studio in an 18th century chateau. My third floor atelier overlooks the stately grounds of this former hunting lodge as well its snug hamlet, forest in fall colours and coddled cottages surrounding an ancient church. Each hour the bells ring across the countryside waking one from the dream spell that has spun its web of gold thread about me. My painting revery is punctuated with walks about The Chateau, dining and sharing with residency artists from the USA, Canada and Australia that have too fallen into the magic of painting while France.
Enjoy my photos, meanderings and paintings as I interpret yet another France escape”.
