I recently had the privilege of sharing my 30-year journey with the Djerassi Resident Artists Program at a First Friday event hosted by the Town of Woodside Art and Culture Committee. This incredible residency in Woodside has been a sanctuary for creativity—a place where I found healing, crafted 18 Days in June, and even collaborated with my wife Julie on a wind-kissed cyanotype. It’s where art takes root and grows.
