In Her Words:
What do you consider most valuable about your time at La Muse?
The good conversation and exchange of ideas with a wonderful group of talented people from many different countries. The uninterrupted time to make art. The solitude and peace that comes with just being at La Muse.
Tell us, in a sentence or two, about the project you were focused on while at La Muse.
While at La Muse I began a body of works on paper. My goal was to complete at least 10 drawings and in the end I made 15 pieces. It was by far the most work I have ever made in such a concentrated amount of time.
All Mary’s work can be found on her website. The pieces she made at La Muse are under Drawings 2012. You can also watch a video of the exposition she gave her work at La Muse below.
What advice would you give future residents?
If you are thinking about attending a retreat at La Muse don’t hesitate, because the experience that awaits you is not to be missed and one that you will dearly cherish for long after you leave.
