For the month of August in 2015, the MdD hosted Karen van de Vliet (website<\/a>) as Artist in Residence.\u00a0 Below are images from here studio-based investigations of drawing the many varieties of grasses found on the MdD terrain.\u00a0 She commented on her residency:<\/p>\n

At Moinhos do D\u00e3o, I became fascinated by the dried grasses and remnants of flowers in the fields. I see them as small dry accessories and they have become the subject of my work here. Looking very closely at their shapes and lines brought back my interest in drawing. I have been trying out different ways of drawing the plants and I am experimenting with ways to integrate these drawings in my paintings.<\/span><\/p>\n
