BBARS Art & Science Residency

I'm just about to hit the road, dropping off my fellow artist-in-residence at the airport, and heading home.  

I've had a great time here at the Bonne Bay Aquarium and Research Station, and I want to thank everyone who had a hand in making this happen:

• Thank you to Brayden for telling me about the residency opportunity in the first place, and
• to Duke for encouraging me to apply
• to the people who chose me as one of the first 6 artists to take part in this new program out of 155 applicants (I'm still in shock about that!)
• to the staff at BBARS for keeping me fed & caffeinated, and for keeping the place so clean and user friendly
  
• to Bob, my favourite Fish Biologist
• to my fellow artists, Julie & Tanja, for being friendly and easy to talk to 
• to my fan club for all the texts, comments on the blog, personal visits, and even a fancy night out on the town in Neddie's Harbour!  I feel very loved and respected.

And a huge THANK YOU to the folks at the Grenfell Art Gallery & Creative Gros Morne who, with BBARS, had the foresight to see that Art & Science go together hand in hand.  I am certain that open minds will fix all the world's problems, and this kind of collaboration between different training and ways of thinking is a great move.  

I'll be back in my studio tomorrow!
