Artist Residency: 2013, The Lucid Art Foundation

As per their website, "The goal of the Lucid Art Residency Program is to provide artists with a serene, retreat-like natural environment for creative exploration and inquiry into arts and consciousness."

During my stay, the first thing I would see each morning as I awakened was a magnificent Gordon Onslow Ford painting. Line, Circle, Dot. As the youngest of the Surrealists, Gordon, even after his passing, is still connecting the rest of us with what is mysterious and unknowable.

My personal quest during this sacred time was to honor and give gratitude to the artistic and spiritual ancestors, who through their own artistic efforts, have supported my art making path.
