The mission of the Djerassi Resident Artists Program is to support and enhance the creativity of artists by providing uninterrupted time for work, reflection, and collegial interaction in a setting of great natural beauty, and to preserve the land on which the Program is situated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since this is my second time, I hit the ground running. It was like coming home to place where what I do is welcomed and nurtured. I love this place. The muse lives here and helps me see through my poems. I will always remember the artists I had the great fortune of meeting and knowing during the weeks we were together. I hope they realize how much their presence has affected my work here in a most profound way.
