My time at the Log House brought a stillness that I had desperately tried to carve out in the city. Whole days were dedicated to experiencing the landscape and all it offers, which in turn nourished and inspired my practice. I made lasting friendships and was able to intuitively follow my desires throughout the month. I have fond memories of making group dinners, going for walks, and watching Big Horn Sheep. The Log House itself was pristine, with an incredible studio with lots of light. I think about my time there often, and hope to return one day.
