"It feels like home here. You are all so welcoming and loving. It’s so important to feel safe to be ourselves and express (especially as artists!) You are all so helpful and accommodating. As a guest (a partner of an artist) and, I felt a part of a team. The food is unbelievably tasty. The day trips are experiences I won’t forget, (Rainmaker, Esterillos Beach). You support such a kind community. My heart is filled with love. Love and blessings to your family and Mauser himself.”
I am inspired! ”

"Dear Heather, Kayla and Yuna!
From the very first moment, I felt so welcomed by you. Thank you! And the house and the garden, the plants, the animals... they all were a huge inspiration and I drew a lot of it. Just the heat...was hard to stand... however, I had a great time! See you again in the future, here or in Berlin, Germany, or else-where on our beautiful planet. ”

"I'm sitting now in the same couch I say many times during my residency while editing my book (the one in the back outside). Listening to the sounds of nature as I write, and I have no words to express my gratitude for enabling this experience for me and many others. I had a much needed time to work on my book, connect with nature, and most importantly, connect with myself. Thank you for this. I wish you the best, and keep shining the way you do (I love your energy so much!) Hoping we will meet again,
Much love, ”

"Thank you Heather and Family for offering such a place for artists to work and play. Our month has gone by so quickly and as I reflect back it has been a great success. We have all accomplished a lot. So wonderful to have access to a beautiful garden and work from great to be so well fed at the end of the day with a tasty meal. Thank you so much for facilitating our site seeing adventures and for the many trips down the hill to the beach. Our time here will be remembered as a wonderful family time of creativity and sunshine.
Best Regards, ”

"Dear Heather and the Mauser House Community,
My stay here was more than just wonderful. It helped me to separate a bit from my home and give me perspective on my artwork and my direction in my work. Finally on the last Friday before leaving woke up early (3am) to realize that my ideas about my work was flowing out of me. I started to brain storm until you showed up in the morning while I was making breakfast. Yes I make 2 small artworks here but just having the space & time to 'brain storm' ideal was ideal for me. This is what artist residencies do! Thank you! With a full heart! Love & Best Wishes"
