CURRENT RESIDENTS

Natalia was born in New York City and raised across multiple cities in the United States. She received her BA in Photography from Bard College and is currently based in the Hudson Valley. Working across photography, sculpture, and video, Natalia explores the visceral and ineffable experience of inhabiting a body. Her practice seeks to destabilize the perceived boundary between earth and body, drawing on natural phenomena to consider growth and renewal as cyclical processes. She is currently experimenting with unexpected intersections between photography and sculpture, exploring how the image shifts as it takes on physical form.

Hi I am Raena, I am a songwriter, folksinger (though not bound by genre), and ‘naturo-musicologist’ who likes to write tunes and record them in nature.

Asking the questions is my art, the stuff that you end up “seeing” is maybe just the artifact of the inquiry, scrap material. Like trees are whispers of the divine, my art aspires to be a whisper of the answer.

Juliette is a scavenger of colorful materials, weathered textiles, and shiny trash. She deals in whimsy, theatrics, and big earnest mess. Concerned with disposability culture and our nested crises of disconnection, she is interested in deconstructing notions of efficiency & value in order to return reverence to material, dream new afterlives for creation, and contribute to the project of visioning a more regenerative future for all.

Juliette has lived many places and worn many hats, working in realms spanning theatre, education, visual arts, ecological design, disaster relief, and farming. In recent years she has come to call Harlemville home, and cares deeply about building right relationship to place and the local. She believes in art making as personal practice, social technology, and magic!

Genevieve is a ceramicist, painter and designer living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Her paintings and sculptures are explorations of the inner world. Working intuitively, she expands feelings through expressive gestural strokes and active meditation. Genevieve approaches her practice intuitively, starting with a loose plan and allowing touch and intuition to bring the works to their final form. Her work is an expression of the core belief that we must hold grief in one hand and joy in the other.

Lyndsey works across mediums of experimental animation & design, mixed media & fiber art, paired with projection-mapped installations to build sites of pleasant resilience. The work is less about acquiring meaning and more about cultivating the conditions in which meaning can be felt. Through deep connection, disciplined craft, and embodied attention, inviting both herself and others into experiences that feel vividly alive.

Gillespie’s pieces have been presented through exhibitions at venues such as FOMO House for the MicroActs Film Festival (Shoreditch, London), Manhattan Graphics Center (New York), SITE/less (Chicago), and FAR Center for Contemporary Arts (Bloomington). Her research was recently selected to be published for the ISEA2025 symposia, ISEA International (formerly Inter-Society for the Electronic/Emerging Arts). Additionally, she has co-curated shows at KATE OH GALLERY (NYC), throughout the Midwest & online internationally; she creates projection designs and music videos for bands and musicians presenting throughout the Midwest and NYC.

She holds a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of South Florida and completed art history studies in Paris, France. She was recently awarded the Mary Jane McIntire Endowed Fellowship for creative excellence by the Eskenazi School of Art and graduated with her MFA in Digital Art. 

Bella Toso is a Danish-American artist raised in St. Paul, Minnesota who spent much of her adult life in Copenhagen, Denmark. Her artistic practice is deeply informed by a curiosity about life, nature, and the hidden patterns underlying living systems. Working intuitively, she creates spontaneous visual expressions that explore the relationship between inner experience and the outer world. She sees art as an alchemical process, where the finished artwork is “just an artifact” (fellow artist, Emily Fecsko) left behind by the deeper transformation taking place through the act of creation.
