<div>What happens when two lives, of remarkable similarities, cross paths and spark a chance opportunity for creative connection and transformative metamorphosis? Both Judith and Kelsey, as established actors in performing careers, share a passion for painting. After a serendipitous meeting through <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bodyart.nyc/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bodyART Studios</a>, Judith offered to let Kelsey reimagine a series of her old paintings that had been uncovered in storage. This magical meeting was the launch pad that jump-started this intergenerational convergence of art.

<div>This project is a celebration of the transformation of ideas, sustainable recycling, and intergenerational connection between female artists. The residency will take place at <a href="https://www.ridgewick.nyc/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Box Factory in Brooklyn</a>, where large canvases donated by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Barcroft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Judith Barcroft</a> will be repurposed and given new life by Kelsey Strauch who's artist name is <a href="https://www.kalciumfortified.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kalcium Fortified</a>. The stories and history of the paintings will be archived and reimagined into new works by Kalcium Fortified, creating a beautiful and unique story that celebrates the power of women supporting women in the arts.
