“It has been two months already, and I don’t want to leave from here. It’s been a long lasting impression. I have loved being here- did both painting and photography. The serene place helped me so much to do what I wanted to do; in fact, it allowed me to do more. I will feel sad to leave and would like to come back and attend the residency again.”
