“I had a magical, transformative two weeks at Hambidge. Staying in my peaceful studio, hiking the beautiful trails, eating the delicious meals, and interacting with my incredible cohort brought work out of me that I could have never imagined. It completely changed my perspective on the type of work I want to create. Hambidge helped me to put the poetry back into my writing, and I learned so much from the other residents who are now my lifelong friends. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I left a better artist and person than when I arrived.”
