Residency Painting Project: Residency Painting Project
From August 25 to September 18, 2025, I will participate in an art painting residency at Angelo State University. During this period, I will present my solo exhibition, “Echoes Vitae” (September 1 – October 31, 2025), and actively engage with the San Angelo community through a dedicated interactive project: Postcards from San Angelo.
The idea is simple yet personal:
You send me a photograph of yourself, a loved one, a friend, a place (such as home or a room), or a meaningful object, and I will create a small, original painting based on your image, completed during a focused 45 – 60 minute session during my residency.
Each postcard, size 6 x 4.5 inches, will be signed, numbered, documented, and mailed to you with a personal handwritten note from me. Only twenty were created, one for each participant, and participation was free: the project was covered by my fellowship.
Why Participate?
This is a rare opportunity to own a unique artwork created during my Angelo State University art painting residency. Each piece carries the energy and immediacy of the moment it was painted, based on your picture and memories. Your postcard becomes both a personal memento and part of the larger story of this painting residency.
How to Join
Residents of San Angelo sent me a photograph of themselves, a loved one, a friend, a place, or a meaningful object, and I painted it during my residency. Twenty people took part. Each finished postcard painting was mailed with a handwritten note, or collected in person at the Angelo State University Gallery at the conclusion of the residency on Friday, September 19th, 2025.
This project was my way of giving something back to the San Angelo community for what I received during the residency, and a small mark I was glad to leave there.
