My time as an artist in residence at Studio H Canada was unforgettable. First of all, Heidi and Michael are exceptional hosts, and the environment of the studio is outstanding. Everything about Studio H is absolutely perfect for an art residency: its natural surroundings, the retreat-like atmosphere, free from distractions yet full of inspiration. There's so much more I could say, but you just need to go and discover for yourself how positively impactful this art residency will be for you.

I had a truly incredible experience at the residency. The stunning location provided the clarity and inspiration I needed to focus on my art. Heidi was a gracious host, creating an environment where I could explore my own techniques while also learning from fellow artists. We shared our knowledge and honed our craft together. The landscape surrounding the studio is breathtaking, filled with vibrant herbs and flowers, immersing us in nature. The ocean views are simply spectacular. I genuinely believe this is one of the best residencies out there, and I would love the opportunity to visit again.

Studio H residency was absolutely ideal for me, which at the time was cozy and peaceful. Heidi is a fantastic host, who not only facilitated my needs, but also provided inspiration, knowledge, and friendship. I highly recommend this residency.

After my long and sometimes somewhat turbulent journey, Studio H was the perfect place for me to regain my creative strength! I was able to devote a month to art in the middle of nature. I was inspired by the surrounding nature, the collected flotsam and the conversations with the super friendly hosts.

With yoga in the forest and walks on the beach, the stay felt like an art-peace retreat.

In addition to the hospitality, I was also super happy with the accommodation itself. It was well equipped, offered all the necessary comforts and also had breathtaking views of the sea, Vicotria and, if the weather was clear, Mount Baker.

It was an unforgettable time. Thank you very much for everything, I hope to see you again and come back!

Not enough good words to describe this residency and this place. Really magical. The landscape was just breathtaking, but what I will remember the most are the hosts. I really enjoyed my time here—very productive and very comfortable. I would definitely go back!

Heidi is a gem and Studio H Canada, that she shares wholeheartedly, is the most welcoming art residency there is. Since the studio is crafted by a fellow artist, the space is very intuitive and full of inspiration.
The experience the Studio H Canada International Artist Residency brings is a balance between solitude, sheltering nature and abundance of wisdom from Heidi.

We had the pleasure of learning how to make art-soap with Heidi. Our experimenting was a success thanks to Heidi’s insight and expert advice.

Spacious and versatile studio space with lots of light.

Comfortable, clean and cozy living space.

Gracious, encouraging and communicative hosts.

Beautiful and inspiring location in Metchosin with views of Victoria and the Salish Sea. Its easy to walk in the woods or explore nearby lakes and coastline, not too close and not too far from the city.
