7 Takeaways From My Very First Artist Residency

Seven things I learned while spending a wonderful week in Petaluma

2025 has been a year of firsts for me in terms of making art. I had my very first piece of artwork in a gallery. I wrote about that experience here. I’ve since had one more piece in a different gallery, and I spent last week in beautiful Petaluma, California at In Cahoots, an artist residency for printmakers, etchers, bookbinders and writers.
