"The residency program has been amazing for me. I was contemplating what to do next, And if I could be a professional artist. the residency has given me validation to carry on, And since I've secured three commissions as a freelance artist. it's just given me confidence, a solo exhibition and the experience of working within a creative community."
"Working with Cloe on mindful journaling revealed how art can positively impact mental health and serve as a valuable coping strategy. It’s been a beneficial experience, showing us the powerful role art plays in well-being."
