My recent project was in August 2012, an art residency at Salem Abbey in South-West Germany, where I created a painting about the sense of arrival to this beautiful region Bodensee. At Salem Abbey, I worked alongside with other 24 artists from USA and Germany. Three weeks an art residency at the Salem Abbey enabled me to observe other artists approach to their practice. It was an intense experience to live, eat and work with the same group of artists for that length of time.
