INTRODUCTION

 This catalog-style report marks the halfway point in the twelve-week Enso Circle Residency

 for our first-term virtual residents. Part of our mission in The Enso Circle is to encourage and   FLO BARTELL  CALIFORNIA

 support our residents by celebrating and encouraging their diverse talents as they work toward   GAIL BYRNES  MASSACHUSETTS
 their individual goals.                                                    SUE CONNER                        CALIFORNIA

 The notes they’ve written about their work come from the informal discussion we share   KATHERINE DYER       MINNESOTA
 in our Slack study space. The photographs were taken by the Residents as they worked in

 their studios. Each week, the artists have a general focus that keeps them on track without   NANETTE FREEMAN  ILLINOIS

 constraining them to a particular medium or practice.      VIRGINIA MASERANG                                 TEXAS
                                                                HARLEEN OSBURN                                CALIFORNIA

 We are profoundly grateful to these twelve creative Residents for their generosity in sharing   LINDA RAEL   TEXAS

 their  unfinished work in progress with each other and with us as a general audience. So often,   BRITA REKVE  ARKANSAS

 we see only the finished product, but it is the process and the journey that gives us the courage   HEATHER TINKHAM  MINNESOTA
 to create.                                                        ROSA INES VERA                             MARYLAND




 Michelle and I are part of this journey, setting goals and creating alongside our Residents   LYN BELISLE    TEXAS
 during the term. Our work-in-process is included in the catalog as well.
                                                                    MICHELLE BELTO                            TEXAS


 Stay tuned for our end-of-term exhibit and final catalog, coming out at the end of May 2021!
