Why this Residency Matters 

This July, I have been invited to attend a three-week artist residency at Château d’Orquevaux in France.
 

This residency offers the focused time, distance, and quiet needed to complete The Art of Becoming, an immersive memoir and archive nearly ten years in the making. The work traces memory, grief, faith, survival, public art, womanhood, place, and the long process of becoming unstuck.
 

In many ways, this invitation is part of the book’s making. I am practicing what the work asks of me: to stop disappearing inside shame, to ask for support, and to allow this next chapter to be witnessed.


Your support helps me arrive with stability, focus, and the ability to fully step into the work.
