Jenny and Varvara created a unique environment that I have never found equalled in the twenty years of my life I have participated in art programs: hands-off, and yet structured; never pushing, instead, inspiring. My goal for the Mudhouse Residency was to regain my confidence in painting and drawing from direct observation by taking classes with Jenny, and by working in the studio, to rediscover my artistic self-discipline (lapsed since my full time job began). It's hard to explain how being in Agios Ioannis inspires and focuses you—it's an exquisitely beautiful place, and the Mudhouse itself has to be seen to be believed. During my time there, I could channel that incredible sensory overload of being in a simultaneously new and very old and beautiful place into making artwork. It was as though everything else became quiet. The Mudhouse Residency was an incredible boost to my practice, I made more there in just two short weeks than I can in half a year at home, and I came back feeling relaxed but energized, focused and full of motivation to keep working. — Anonymous, 2016.

The Mudhouse Residency is just, in a word, incredible. I participated in the pilot year.

Mudhouse residency is all about how to make money for the owners. Be very careful about signing a contract with them. They take the full amount of money 2- 4 months before the residency begins, and in case of ANY Force Majeure or Act of God that may happen to anyone out of your hand they simply say go and apply for next year, if the selection committee approved we may give 10 percent off! Why they get the full amount 4 months prior without considering that a hard situation can happen to everyone? They don't care about the artists and feel responsible that when they have their full amount of residency 4 months ahead, incase that in Summer and Spring any unpridectible and emergency situation happens like wild fires, hurricanes, Covid etc, emergency health issue, their business model is to protect them vs. arti — Anonymous, 2022.
