It is more than clear – from your dedication to the place, to the beautiful art left behind in the amazing studio, from the lovely words in the guest book – that you have touched many lives and inspired a great deal of artist throughout your time running this.

Beautiful patterns run through Tuscany. Lively patterns run through my head. I spent this residency studying patterns…and the one I’ve found to appreciate most is the pattern you have of helping artists achieve their best!

Opening your home and this precious piece of history to the artists of the world was a supreme act of vision. Thank you for that!

You are changing lives one artist at a time with the generosity of your spirit and the love you share for creativity. You set such a beautiful example of how to live with abudance and joy. Thank you for allowing me to be part of them. I will never be the same…

It was a blast! I have never stept so well in my life, waking up in the morning feeling excited for the day! This was the best residency I have ever been at… there is something truly magical about being in La Macina…..
