She is excited to be miles away for a month, having her first residency experience at Jentel. She plays the accordion and eats avocados as much as possible.
Nancy Sirkis, N.Y. Nancy, a photographer, believes that most of her photographs never happened, at least not in the same moment; but they tell a story, depicting the ambience and mood of the small, American towns that she is photographing

The Jentel Foundation offers dedicated individuals a supportive environment in which to further their creative development. While at Jentel, visual artists and writers have the opportunity to experience unfettered time to allow for thoughtful reflection and meditation on the creative process in a setting that preserves the agricultural and historical integrity of the land.
