Creative Guests
In February 2019, Cornelia started her Artist in Residence Program which is part of her foundation 'Rim of Heaven'. Since 2021, she has continued the project in Tuscany, Italy.
Cornelia already welcomed quite a few guests in the very first weeks after her arrival in Tuscany.
"Tuscany is quite different from Malibu, California, but it is also a magic place. Sometimes it is the nature around, sometimes it is a walk up to Volterra and having coffee between walls that are up to 3000 years old, which inspires."
Maybe there’ll be a German illustrator and in the other house there’ll be an Indian musician. Maybe a Mexican storyteller will meet an illustrator from Russia or they will all work together with an American conservationist.
Cornelia is looking forward to seeing how their creativity is being boosted by the atmosphere and the special magic of the place.
*** There won’t be applications! Cornelia does not want competitions. Sometimes her publishers may pay for a residency and ask readers to apply, but those will be the exception. Cornelia herself will only invite guests, whose work she learned about by chance. Fate will bring them, serendipity, coincidence — whatever you want to call it.***
