It was our pleasure to talk with artist Shelley Stevens about her art practice and Golden Apple Artist Residency. Shelley is all about making opportunities for artists that focus on the gift of time and space. Golden Apple Art Residency is located approximately an hour north of Bar Harbor along the rocky coastal region of Downeast Maine. Within a very quiet and secluded location, the residency grounds are situated near the tip of Ripley’s Neck down a long and winding road outside of Harrington, where the main house, the studios and the residency cottages are all less than two hundred feet from shore. It is in this remote, naturally rugged and picturesque environment that our artists and writers find the support and inspiration to create. Enjoy this wonderful interview with Shelley.
