"As I come to the end of my time here, I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to step out of the busy-ness of daily life, to have quiet time, and a natural, nurturing environment to think and work in. The experience has supported and enlivened my artistic practice, as well as given me some much-needed respite.

I have found the experience particularly valuable in terms of consolidating ideas that have been floating around for a while – the quiet space, without distractions, or pressure to produce – has allowed a clarity of thinking that has not been possible in normal daily life.

There was plenty of messing about with new media, thinking, and doing my best to remember 'failure' is just a part of the process and is actually very helpful!

I have particularly benefited from the chance to resolve ideas for a few exhibitions next year, and to outline plans for these.

Gunyah is a wonderful place and I highly recommend it to all creative people in need of space and time to work."
