Gabriela's artistic vision for the residency involves creating a series of weavings utilizing natural materials primarily sourced from foraged plants. With a commitment to sustainability, her work aims to cultivate harmony with nature.

If you have access to a garden and are knowledgeable about plants, we encourage you to bring samples of materials you believe could be incorporated into the artist's artwork. 

Your contribution will enrich the creative process, and your involvement is highly encouraged.

Future residencies

Following Gabriela's residency, the Cottage will host artist residencies with JoEllen Wang for May through June, Leslie Barber from mid-July through August, and Ching-In Chen and Cassie Mira from September through October.

The Cottage at Richmond Beach Saltwater Park is honored to present these talented artists and invites the community to partake in their enriching open studio sessions. Further open studio dates will be announced.
