"it could
be so
magical"
We became fast friends during an art residency in Ohio where we discovered the value in sharing ideas, meandering together, and creating in community with other artists. We went from budding acquaintances to lifelong friends! Over the years, we've collaborated on experiences such as the Zanesville Summer Residencies, Art Shows, Zoom Art Chats during Covid, and now the Friendsidency! In the spirit of our first residency, we ask: Do you want to be my creative friend?
