“My name is David Boyajian I am a sculptor from CT. I was fortunate to have a metal sculpture residency at the Buffalo Creek Art Center during the month of August 2021. My reason for perusing this Residency was that I knew I needed a month to focus on my creative work with no interruptions. A singular focus of working 16 hour days, 7 days a week, for a month opened new pathways into my creative work. The peace and the serenity of the endless horizon, sun rises and sunsets kept me balanced, the dynamic expanse and monumental rising of the Sierra Nevada mountains fueled my creative energy. I was in the best place, and had the best creative time of my life. In the end when the dust settled, I found what I was looking for, a new dynamic expression to my work. Simply stated “priceless “.

The studios are very well maintained, they are clean and uncluttered, all the tools and equipment are in excellent working condition. Every tool I needed was there and ready to go . I was able to work quickly; I was able to stay focused without interruptions. If I needed materials BCAC supplied what I needed, the whole operation is seamless. BCAC is designed to take care of the artist. Perfect setup, with an amazing and thoughtful support system; you could not ask for a more dedicated and professional group of people to run the BCAC . The residence hall, the rooms, kitchen, common areas , are very well maintained, very clean, most comfortable and very private. The grounds are incorporated into the natural environment as a seamless landscape. This is a five star set up. Excellent opportunity, great experience!

Best creative time of my life.
Thank you again”
