This ongoing process of learning and reflection has opened a new relationship with nature, landscape, and art.

Blending fine art and documentary approaches her art practice encompasses photography, video, painting, and installation. Bernadette will be Artist in Residence from June to August.

During her stay, Liz will work alongside locals to create a collaborative, site specific artwork in October.
