Skopelos Art Foundation

I was lucky enough to secure a place at the Skopelos Foundation for the Arts for a 3-week residency in September. It was the most wonderful experience, sharing ideas with  other artists in different media and from all over the world, and being inspired by the amazing colours on that beautiful island. The atmosphere was relaxed and supportive and I felt free to be myself and follow my own agenda. I explored the island and soon discovered my favourite place, Amarandos - the walk there was stunning, through scented pine trees with glimpses of turquoise water between the trees. I divided my time between sketching on location and working in the studio - which in itself was an inspiring location with views over the bay. I did a lot of work but also had time for lots of swimming and good meals. I hope to create more work over the winter with my sketches and photos as inspiration.
