SAN JUAN ISLAND ART RESIDENCY OCTOBER 2023

Taking advantage of Teresa alumni status, we returned for fourth time to spend 5
days (Oct 3 -- 7, 2023) making art at the University of Washington's Whitley Center on San Juan Island.

Dedicated to approved creative projects, the Center is part of a marine research facility called the Friday Harbor Labs. Teresa carved 3 sea bird woodcuts.

GJ worked on four abstract figure mixed media pieces. One piece "And I Think to Myself" has been accepted for publication by Arboreal Literary Magazine. Oct 12, 2023

Dear GJ,

I want to sincerely thank you for sharing your marvelous art with us.

And I think to Myself by GJ Gillespie. 

We would be thrilled to include "And I Think to Myself" in our upcoming issue! The issue will be published online (free to access) on November 15, 2023 at 9am PT. The print version of the issue will be available for purchase on Amazon the following day.

Please let me know if you're still interested in having your work published in Arboreal.

Warmest regards,
