Thanks for sharing your progress with these. It’s helpful to see what other artists are doing. Congratulations on the residency and the studio visit!
Thanks Michele! I’ve been so fortunate… feeling very grateful.
Thank you for sharing, I’m at a stage in my career where I’m submitting a lot of unsuccessful applications: it’s nice to know I’m not the only one and that success will come eventually!
