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

Creative Output While Overseas
So I finally lived overseas again (2 months in London, the picture above is of my class in an East London Gallery, taken by Owen Mundy) and found it difficult to post. It's no wonder many of you have trouble contributing to my calls for participation. It's so easy to be distracted by your new environs. I miss the luxury of knowing that you'll be in your new host country for two years more and can explore at a more human pace. Next time. I'm looking into artist residencies for my next overseas experience. The following sites have been most helpful:

Happy hunting!
