The Rural Residency for Contemporary Art, Lombardy, Italy…an amazing place for multimodal creation in a gorgeous location with artists from around the globe. I could not have dreamt a better place to enter into my engineering mind as I puzzled through how to create a garment that fits in a pocket and transforms the wearer completely.

This was a glorious day: my photoshoot at RUC. As I prepared to launch my latest creation, I could not contain my joy. This place. These people. My creation.

Residency life

Moments of bliss at RUC, where my adventurous spirit found a creative home

Glorious. Gorgeous. A greeting from the mountains each and every day. This was the view from the main residency house at RUC.

A day trip to Monte Isola in Lake Iseo revealed lovely moments like this. A feast for the eyes. A feast for my heart.
