I would like to express my gratitude for the incredible opportunity to be the final Summer resident at Urban Air Art Foundation .art this year. My one-week residency in Warwick, New York, was a wonderful experience, allowing me to fully immerse myself in my work and explore new creative processes, in a restful and inspiring environment.

I am especially thankful to Jeff and Krysta for their immense generosity and kindness, to Mark for his constant support, and to Kim for facilitating this connection, which began following her invitation to Swale .

The time I spent at Urban Air was invaluable, and I am deeply appreciative of everyone who made it such a memorable and productive experience.

Thank you Brattleboro Museum & Art Center for including my work in The Living Room exhibition on Costa Rican art (picture #2), and for mentioning Casa 49 studio visits and exchange with the museum.

"The Central American nation of Costa Rica is better known for its pristine beaches, cloud forests, and abundant wildlife than for its contemporary art, but the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center (BMAC) is out to change that. Since 2021, BMAC has offered an annual trip to Costa Rica that introduces travelers to the country’s vibrant arts scene and—at the same time—provides valuable international exposure and connections to some of its leading artists.

Visual evidence of this unlikely transcontinental cultural exchange is on view at BMAC through June 16 in the museum’s Living Room. There, visitors can take in artwork by Carolina Guillermet, Mauricio Herrero, Rossella Matamoros, Philipp Anaskin, and others, along with examples of Costa Rican folk art, as well as photographs and original artwork by past participants in BMAC’s annual trips. ..

Herrero, a printmaker, runs Casa 49, a San José art studio and gallery that supports a community of artists. He has welcomed BMAC visitors since 2022. The gatherings are an opportunity for everyone involved, he says. Young and emerging Costa Rican artists are introduced to U.S. art lovers and collectors, and in turn, the North Americans see work and meet artists still unknown in the U.S. BMAC’s program is establishing a whole new kind of cultural tourism in Costa Rica, Herrero says.
