Deadlines Approaching!

Two very important deadlines are fast approaching: LMCC Workspace Residency and The Center for Photography at Woodstock. I am a current artist in residence at LMCC and a past recipient of a CPW A.I.R. Both of these programs have changed my life. I have been able to build my network of peers and arts professionals and have been able to make new work in a supportive and inspiring environment. I cannot express how much these experiences have enriched my creative process and my life in general. I owe so much to everyone at LMCC and CPW for their immense commitment and dedication to all of the artists they serve. 

Apply now!
