Congratulations to our 2022 Fieldstones Artist-In-Residence
LIZA SOKOLOVSKAYA (MFA 2018)



There is something particularly special when you get to enjoy nature uninterrupted. A multitude of shades of green that change with the light, clouds rolling above you, deer, chipmunks, woodpeckers hiding around and night skies sparkling with stars. For the time of the residency there is a new routine, you have a favourite spot for reading, you find different areas that light up throughout the day as the sun moves, you discover when the swimming hole is at its warmest. Much of my time at Fieldstones was spent basking in this slow rhythm and painting the beautiful surroundings. It allowed me to relax body and mind, but work extra hard on capturing landscapes in oil as the light changed. This residency is such a gift, spending time one on one with nature and work let's you soak it all up for later to last you long into the realities of big city life.
