I’m spending a month here on Hrísey near the arctic circle. It’s a small island in Eyjafjörður (fjord), north Iceland, with approximately 200 people living here. Today I walked around town and checked out the amenities…
There is a grocery store with basic supplies (but they will also order other items for you by request), a museum, a restaurant and cafe, a guest house, a church, a geo-thermal pool, and of course, the Old School Arthouse, the international artist residency where I’m staying.
Right now the sun sets at 12:30 am and then rises again an hour or so later, so it doesn’t really get dark… despite that, I’m sleeping like a baby! Must be all the fresh air hikes and stress-free living. Soon we’ll have 24 hour sunshine…
It’s so quiet here (except for the birds and howling wind out on the moors!). A perfect place for me to rest and recharge…

Tomorrow I start art-making!
