Begun during my adventures overseas, the Female Expat Project began as a collection of artworks about female expatriates and their original ideas about place. On the flip side of expatriates' nomadic lifestyles are contemporary nesting instincts—also explored in this blog. Really it's a publicly available sketchbook in the cloud supporting my artwork. http://joelledietrick.com

Virginia Center for the Creative Art
Thin Cities: Underwater Hockey. Ink + gouache on vellum. 9 x 24 in. 2008.
I've been meeting to write this post since I returned from this heavenly place. If you find yourself unable to set aside large amounts of time to develop your creative outpourings due to family and / or work distractions, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (VCCA, http://www.vcca.com/) is my recommended solution. I was there from May 14-May 28, and I met so many extraordinary artists, poets, and filmmakers. Email me at jdietrick@gmail.com if you want more information. I highly recommend this residency program.
