National Postal Museum www.postalmuseum.si.edu ![]() Mare “feels very fortunate to have been selected for the residency” and to have been “given the chance to be immersed in the nature of the area which was unfamiliar” to her as a New Yorker. The only artist who “chose to live in her tent for the duration of the residency,” Mare feels that it enhanced her experience of the natural surroundings and the impact of the program on her art. ![]() Mare Dianora, Artist-in-Residence, June 2006 She is currently working as a resident artist at the New York University Medical Center, developing a program of arts in healthcare for the benefit of oncology patients. |
