USA | @JulieWheelerArt (on Instagram) | The past month has been a period of tremendous insight for me as a result of the 2024 election. After years of turning my attention outward (whether through motherhood, political activism, or approval seeking from others) I have retreated inside myself and into the refuge of my studio. I’ve realized that the gaping hole of emptiness I have spent 56 years trying to fill through various external sources, is actually only filled by one thing, making art. But the fear of making a mistake remains, and I can see clearly that the thing preventing me from making the art I want to make is me. I want to get out of my own way. I want to learn how to trust myself. | vegetariano | 3 | 3 | 1 | F | ||||
France | www.untergaarden.com | Because I'm an expert at procrastination and not-showing-my-inner-world to anyone. Because I create behind a thousand masks, and maybe it's time to rip them off and go naked (metaphorically ^^) . And above all, a QUARANTINE ISLAND ?! Your concept is my very special definition of BEING ALIVE: doing crazy things with like minded people <3 | penicilina | 2 | 1 | 1 | F | ||||
Italy | https://www.valeriaandreis.com/paintings/ | Hi guys, it's Valeria from FWWM! Looks like the mentor lineup has shifted into something straight out of my dreams—seriously, it’s like you’ve assembled the perfect team for my current needs. When I saw Edward Povey was on board, I literally thought, "Sht, Valeria, this is a sign from the universe."* This time, I want to come back for completely different reasons. The last Quarantine left a permanent mark on my life—both personally and artistically. Now, I’m curious to see where you can push me further. I’m ready to consolidate everything I learned last time and finally pull out by the roots the lingering art blocks left from my time in art school. I want to reach the next level. I want to truly enjoy the act of making art, to feel free and fearless in creating—not just focused on finishing a painting I started weeks ago. I want to find balance between spontaneity and intentionality in my work. There’s also this question that’s been haunting me: is it okay to get bored of an idea and not want to finish a painting? If it’s not okay, I need to understand why it happens and how to work through it. I’ve been reading James’ book, and I recognize myself in the way he used to feel: caught up in the “doing” rather than fully embracing the “feeling” and “living.” I want to reconnect with the living part of art, to make creating a seamless part of my daily life, where every action feels like an extension of my artistic self. You are the only ones I trust to help me move in the right direction. Let’s do this! | vegetariano | 1 | 3 | 1 | F | ||||
Canada | https://www.neufelddesigns.com/illustration-fine-art | As an art director and photographer by trade and as an artist by avocation, creativity permeates every area of my life. Or, at least it should. If I’m honest with myself though, I feel like I approach life much too safely to be truly creative, always too concerned with tact and reputation to truly rock the boat and say something with my art. When I think about my life and legacy, my biggest regret would be to go through life without creating work that says something, that makes people think and moves the needle on public discourse just a bit. That is why I want to take part in Quarantine, to break the shackles and learn to unleash real, raw creativity. | 2 | 3 | 1 | M | |||||

Ireland | Mostly self taught until two wonderful artists stumble into my life and mentored me while living in South Africa (I'm originally Argentinean, but I live in Ireland right now) | Because from the very first year I read about you, each time I have that poignant feeling you describe, that punch in the stomach that tells me "this is it", this is what Ive been looking for... Im so utterly scared of not being good enough than an ordinary amateur, not knowing how to get ahead, Ive no idea who I am as an artist, if any. I have been exposed to the sublime, so how can I ever achieve such level. I believe the only way is diving into it, no distraction, get lost in time where nothing else matters and nobody else needs you. Concentration is everything and I find it incredibly difficult to achieve in my day to day life. In a nutshell, I'm hungry for an experince such as the one you are offer..... yet terrified. | 3 | 2 | 1 | F | |||||
USA | heatherolsenart.com | Because I want to stop making what I call "Mormon kitchen art" (safe, easy to sell here in Utah, but drains my soul) and make art that makes me feel alive! I want to create the paintings in my heart that get me excited, but I have been hesitant because of what my parents or the very mormon culture here will think or say. I want to say fuck it! and paint whatever the hell I want to paint! I want to find out what is authentically me. | 2 | 2 | 1 | F | |||||
UK | www.leahdavis.co.uk | Oh My God, this program is exactly what I need! For the past eight years, I've dedicated my life to developing my style, honing my skills and working out where my art is personally coming from. Like most, my work is a visual diary where I express my feelings, try to work out what my life experiences mean, and connect with those other lost, kindred spirits who have had similar experiences. However, I've fallen into the trap where I want my work to be universally liked, while also trying to be true to myself. I've explored topics through my portraits, such as dreams, individuation, my shadow, and Jungian art therapy. While these studies have deepened my understanding, I still find it tough to break away from making art that’s universally liked, and completely true to myself. This boot camp offers the support and challenges I definitely need to face my fears, gain confidence, and fully embrace my artistic vision. I'm eager to hone in on my concepts, be honest with myself, and connect with those who truly and deeply resonate with my work. This feels like the perfect opportunity to grow both personally and artistically, and to finally break free from my pesky inhibitions. I also want to deepen my understanding of my creative process and push the boundaries of my work. By engaging with other artists who share this journey, I hope to gain new perspectives, insights that will help me evolve, and some new friends. The program's focus on overcoming fear and embracing authenticity is exactly what I need to break through my current plateau and take my art to the next level. I am so ridiculously ready to embrace this challenge and see where it takes me. | glúten | 2 | 3 | 1 | F | ||||
France | https://www.instagram.com/prspektive/ | Many moons ago I attended a Bootcamp with Jeremy, and it was quite literally life changing. My formal art journey continued after until the world stopped in 2020, I spent time drifting around (working a real job, yuck) wondering if I could ever get back to the state I was in before and be what I knew I could be. Lamenting the interruption and missed opportunities only to realize that it was all for a reason, the broken education and ad-hoc self teaching, getting lost, heartbroken and filled with doubts, were assets not handicap's! With renewed vigour and fueled by a new vision of what my art formation and work could be, (+ with plenty of museum sketching in paris) I started to find my self again and get back on the wheel. I feel another injection of based reality - mind shifting community workshoping..some time around April in 2025..would be the perfect cure for what ails me ;) And someting I can look back on as a pivotal step in my journey. I'm excited by the format, the instructors and the posibility of having another life moment! I hope you will consider having me :) | 3 | 3 | 1 | M | |||||

USA | https://www.jessicacfisher.com/fine-art | The first time was such a whirlwind of transformation. I was scared initially and so didn’t take full advantage of my first days. I feel like diving back in having now wet my feet in the program, I can be even more open and less intimidated. I'm beginning to see good progress on my ability to paint, but now I want to work on my voice within that work. I also hope to be a good example for those who are coming for the first time and demonstrate that by doing everything with gusto and commitment. Interzone helped build a charge within me and I hope that The Art Spirit will act as the ignition. Also the we all created there was so magical and I feel the longing for it. I miss you all so much! | no peix ni marisc | 2 | 2 | 2 | F | ||||
Canada | https://www.instagram.com/julie.ouiii/ | Actually I was looking for an art residency in Europe, and the algorithms obviously helped you guys to find me haha. I've been to 2 art residencies (for the first time!) since years, and it was a revelation for me... for -sure- it did help on so many levels (and the people you meet is the huge unexpected part of it). Also - I am travelling since 3 years now; I've been 2,5 years in latinamerica, and I am now continuing the journey with my own discovery of Europe (right now in Andorra). I had the idea of travelling for many years few months after finishing university in Visual Arts. I was looking to extend my perceptions about so many things but also obviously about art, to level up my skills by founding new opportunities, and in general, inspiring myself. Unfortunatly, I've been doing a kindof recap on how is my art situation right now as an artist -and- travelling artist, and I have to say that I am disappointed, haha. I feel like I am not the artist I would have imagine after all these experiences... maybe I'm just a slow person too. I don't really know. I know some things, I have skills, I know, I have good ideas too for sure, but I find it hard to sell myself, maybe. I don't know neither how is going this one-line-straight paragraph, so I'm sorry in advance for the confusion. Also, the dates of the next Quarantine sounds like flowers to me cause it's perfectly right after the ski season here in Andorra. Thank you for reading me! I hope you will choose me... haha. | 1 | 1 | 2 | F | |||||

USA | https://www.katiemetzstudio.com/ | Recently, I asked the Universe for guidance, and in response, I had a dream with a shape I could not make out. The next morning, a Red Rabbit email landed in my inbox—and there it was! The shape was the same shape as Menorca! It feels like I’ve been washed ashore after years of being stuck in the swampy drudgery of gallery life. Not their fault—mine. I found my work to become like a one-trick pony, clinging to the work that first got attention: my cityscapes. Fear took root, paralyzing me from exploring beyond what brought gallery representation. Over time, I lost touch with my full true inner artist. She slipped away quietly, hiding herself while I carried on with what I thought the "gallery people" expected. And what I thought I needed. I became trapped by my own idea of what a gallery career should look like, and I followed that path for far too long. I felt exhausted from a lack of wholeheartedness in my work. I recently left my gallery representation to take time away to reset myself and my work. This decision has opened a new can of “good” worms, and I must nourish them or risk losing the very thing that makes my work—and my life—come alive. It’s time to shed the long-standing habits, ideas, and viewpoints that have kept me contained for so many years. There is more waiting to be uncovered, and it’s time to embrace this fully and fearlessly. Quarantine is where the Universe is guiding me—a space to shake, rattle, and roll out the artist I know I am. | 2 | 2 | 2 | F | |||||

USA | https://juliakimdixon.art/ | Short version: I need my ass kicked. It’s very, very, very difficult to kick one’s own ass. Long(er) version: I went to art school. Twice. It didn’t take. I am a creative economy consultant and arts management professor. I help clients and students find the “WHY??” in their lives every day. But, for some reason, I don’t have the—whatever—to commit to my painting. People believe in me. I painted during the COVID quarantine and felt transformed. Then life resumed. I didn’t BECOME transformed. Why doesn’t “life” include painting for a living?

Portugal | https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dzbHWkv2eovst4uJql_Fh-4iFNCS5vuQ?usp=drive_link | I believe that the Quarantine week in Menorca is the way I will be able to break free. I believe it's the right setting for unleashing what's holding me back, With the cast of mentors, unknown to me until now, aligned with their Intention for the seven days, this isolated island, off the beaten track, where no one can hear us, is the ideal place for deliverance and resurrection. We can get down to 'business'. In 2001 I started learning about painting improv. Being the curious type, I also enrolled in a series of stained glass and silversmith workshops. I loved it. But it was painting improv that revealed to be the most doable long term medium of self expression during the time that I was raising my young family of three. In 2016 I decided to study photography and took it very seriously for a number of years. In 2020 I realized that painting and drawing was what I was really passionate about. I started first with expressive drawing and explored different materials and techniques. Finally, still thirsty to learn more, in 2023 I decided to formally study realistic drawing (human figure and portraiture) and oil painting. Even though I'm loving studying and practicing both realistic drawing and painting, I've been feeling stuck. I lost the spontaneity I experienced earlier on. I know I'll be challenged to the very core of my whole being. I'm ready. I'm ready to go for a walk on the less-travelled road for seven days with a bunch of strangers and trust that no part of me has been left unshaken, unchallenged, or unseen. This is why I want to join the Quarantine event. I want to go through this experience in Menorca and I'm willing to pay the price.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hZatxEKI7V2KywvhL11F62psstDH1ciTCP9IGWqF0dM/edit?usp=sharing | Gluten dairy sugar pork shrimp alcohol legumes (beans) | 3 | 2 | 3 | F | ||||

Netherlands | https://edwinijpeij.nl/art-laboratorio/ | I want to join Quarantine because I only have one life to live as an artist, and I don’t want to look back and regret missing this opportunity to step closer to myself. Art, for me, is deeply personal. My subject—the nude—represents authenticity, purity, and vulnerability, yet it often exists within the confines of societal taboo. In some ways, this mirrors my own journey. I feel a tension between the freedom I long for and the limits I place on myself. Through this week, I hope to create the space to explore that tension more honestly and courageously. Perhaps my work is an autobiography. Perhaps it reflects not just what I create but who I am and the metamorphosis I go through. I would love to use this week in April to reflect on these questions, to uncover deeper truths about myself, and to find the freedom to be fully authentic—not just in my art but in my life. Thank you for considering my application. I am excited about the possibility of joining this bootcamp and sharing this journey of growth with other artists.

USA | https://www.instagram.com/fountain.nyc/profilecard/?igsh=dmNzNmhyM3Q0Z3hq | Hello! Since discovering Quarantine and reading into what it’s all about I am absolutely filled with an urgency to be a part of it. I work as a tattoo artist but I make graphite/charcoal works, oil paintings, sculptures and other ideas that don’t really fit nicely into a category. I draw every day, it’s much more than a job to me, it’s something I cannot help but do since I’ve been a young kid. My tattoo process is to create original artwork for every session that visually narrates a personal story that each client gives me. Sometimes it’s about their life experiences, or concepts that mean a lot to them, or even lines from poetry or song lyrics that have spoken to them. I’ve never been to art school or received any formal guidance, and since becoming a working artist I have noticed tensions and contractions that have formed around my creative process like barnacles on the bottom of a ship. I know that they’re self inflicted and unnecessary, but I’ve had a hard time letting them go so I can enjoy the gift of free expression the way I used to. I know the way it feels to be in the state of mind where art pours out of me, and when my mind contracts and seals the gate to that place it feels like being barred out of paradise. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to destroy those gates. It sounds to me like your program is is all about showing us how. I know that within me is a boundless creative force, I glimpse it but I don’t know how to access it in a more stable way. I’m haunted by all the ideas I have that I’ve yet to create because of this useless tension. I’m haunted by the beauty I see in the world around me that seems to go completely ignored by most, I want nothing more than to be able to show everyone what I see so they can see it too. I have so much inside that wants to make its way out that sometimes it feels like I’m going to explode when I struggle to release it. I am willing to let go of absolutely everything I think I know about art, because I don’t feel like | 1 | 2 | 4 | M | |||||

Maggie Avison | UK | https://www.instagram.com/maggieavisonart/ | I typed out an explanation, I am going to paste that in - it will lose the paragraph formatting and if it's too wordy/long I apologise!: One of your emails really hit home with me, it was entitled ‘the case against bargue plates’. I’ve done academic art training, which on the one hand I loved in many ways (I found it quite meditative refining a cast drawing for weeks, especially combined with some good music), and on the other hand didn’t do any favours to my tendencies towards perfectionism and hesitancy. I left the formal education quite a while ago and since then have been learning painting techniques through workshops here and there, always seeming to tell myself I’m not quite ready or good enough to do my own stuff just yet, I’ll just do one more course… I worry about ‘finding my voice’, I worry what if I don’t have a voice (!), what if I’m not creative enough, I get brief glimpses of what I might like to do, ideas etc, and then try a bit but can’t execute them as I’d like, or it feels too contrived, or turns out not looking like I wanted… and then I go back to thinking I just need to get a bit more experience/tuition in painting like this or that, and I do another workshop! Anyway so I have told myself I have to stop procrastinating this and hiding behind fears of not being able to do things exactly how I want them, and just get on with it. I’m trying to do that this year. After reading about it in your emails I’ve bought the Art Spirit book and have just finished reading it – I wish I’d come across it years ago. For portfolio I’ve linked to my Instagram, but this doesn’t have all my stuff on it, and mostly it’s copying images, or academic work, so not very creative and not really a cohesive body of work. But then again, if it was creative and cohesive maybe I wouldn’t feel the need to be applying to this :) | vegetariano | 2 | 2 | 5 | F | |||

France | tiffalam.com | i have always loved creating, but i can't get out of my own way. always overthinking the subject matter i want to paint because i’m trying to force something profound, like i’m trying to prove that i have something worth saying. so then i continue doing studies thinking if i just improve my technique, one day the ideas will come and i’ll be worthy of them. i have this chip on my shoulder, feeling like i don’t belong (don’t merit the title ‘artist’) and always trying to show that i deserve to be here. i want to learn to reflect like an artist. stop wallowing in self doubt and fucking create !!! | 1 | 3 | 6 | F | |||||
USA | https://www.instagram.com/katdelrosie/ | Howdy! I would love to join Quarantine because I want to fully challenge and devote myself to my practice but don't know how to. I believe your program can allow me to really push myself without overthinking everything. It’s been difficult to make paintings lately and cranking them out on a higher level. I would also like to break out of my current old habits as an artist and hopefully build a strong discipline after the program. I have a solo exhibition in 2025 and am also stuck on what should I make. I also just want to be immersed with others who are ready to kick some artistic ass and build resilient camaraderie. Thank you for your consideration! | 1 | 3 | 6 | F | |||||

Spain | Instagram: @r3xm8 | After spending some years learning watercolour and oil painting, attending at workshops and practising at home, I feel the need to develope my own language. I never studied Fine Arts (economical reasons, cowardice…) but I’ve been chasing art my whole life. Just have to try. | 2 | 2 | 6 | F | |||||
USA | https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Irh20qwV4Xl4VlNb_HFQCurCC2393yz2?usp=sharing | Included a link to a Google drive with a sample of my work over the years. I recently left the corporate world to focus on writing and painting and developing a coherent artistic voice. I bring intensity to all the things I do, and this program resonated with me. I've followed Jeremy Mann's work for a while, drawing inspiration from him in my figurative art. Thank you for your consideration! | lactosa | 3 | 1 | 6 | M | ||||
USA | https://christopher-wilson.pixpa.com/ | I want to come to Quarantine because it scares me (a little). I want to be challenged and inspired to accelerate my art practice with a view towards selling my work professionally. I would like a chance to be around like mind (and different minded) folks and be immersed in this experience (whatever it may entail). I was registered for the first Menorca Pulsar event several years back - the one that had to be rescheduled. I have been wanting to try to make this trip again ever since. I think now is the time. | 3 | 2 | 6 | M | |||||

Then I saw the event. Looks like a place I was meant to be. I’d love to experience the camp, I’d love to meet all the other mentors and artists. Somehow I have that feeling like it’s a life changing experience | Caràcter fort. TDAH. | 3 | 3 | 6 | F | ||||
