Thoughts on Djerassi Resident Artist Program
As two two-time Alum of The Djerassi Artists Residency program, my experience at Djerassi has been life changing. The space to dive deep into my process without interruption surrounded by the vast immense beauty of nature enabled me to access parts of my creative self that had been longing to live, to express, to actualize and exist. Djerassi has been one of the most significant times in my life as an artist, a time that not only awakened parts of who I am creatively but allowed me to create the work that I feel is my legacy. Djerassi is a safe haven for anyone looking to free themselves, to find themselves, to heal themselves and to be themselves. As Henry David Thoreau said, “All good things are wild and free.”
