“One aspect of an artists’ life that is rarely discussed is the important need for rest, contemplation and renewal in a life often fraught with stress, uncertainty and time constraints. Lynda Hamilton’s vision of providing a place for such respite is not only generous but also groundbreaking in her understanding of this issue. For many artists, there is never time, or finances for a vacation of just “down time” to contemplate and be renewed. This retreat space provides this all-important respite and is, therefore, a brilliant and much-needed concept.
I congratulate Lynda in bringing this dream to fruition and wholeheartedly supporting the concept. She has provided a practical solution to an existing and much neglected area of an artists’ life through her generosity and understanding.”
