Beth Shadur completed a two-week artist-in-residency at Chateau Orquevaux in Orquevaux, France, where she worked on her paintings inspired by Antelope Canyon Tribal Park, Page, AZ. Shadur completed six works while there, and the Chateau Orquevaux chose one to acquire for their permanent collection, for the second time.

This is the second time Shadur has done a residency at the beautiful “Chateau d’Orquevaux International Artist Residency,” considered one of the highest rated artists’ residencies in the world. Shadur received the Denis Diderot Artist Grant in support of her residency.

She was on location with 26 other artists from various disciplines from the United States, Canada, the Dominican Republic, and Israel, and found the other artists to be fantastically creative, kind, generous and interesting! Shadur felt that she made some life-long friendships and was inspired by the outpouring of creativity. Conversations on the creative process abounded, and these were especially interesting because of the range of perspectives and experiences of different artists.
