Thank you to the beautiful response to my Florence + the Countryside art retreat for May 2026! It sold out within 24 hours! THANK YOU!
I have been getting a lot of emails over the last few days asking about what workshops have waitlists/still room etc.
I wanted to share that there are a few spots left for Kauai in January 2026. This is going to be a really special retreat and I am so excited to be a part of it! I can not think of a better way to start the new year!
We will welcome you with tons of aloha then you will get whisked away to your retreat on the island of Kauai where you will be REFRESHED by the island pace, INSPIRED by colorful Kauai and two days of art together!
GATHER and connect with like-minded women, and INDULGE in the downtime to be still and know how you are LOVED by your heavenly father.
My desire is for each of you to have the opportunity to return home with a fresh start so you can walk confidently in who you were created to be, to take home inspiration from Kauai, and have some new art techniques in your tool belt.
We will spoil you with Kauai’s beautiful views, have slow mornings , take a botanical garden tour or a boat tour, healthy local Hawaiian meals, learn the Hawaiian art of haku-making, take beach walks, and partake in a cooking class.
This is Kauai so our lodging will be a short walk to the beach, have relaxed and welcoming living conditions, shared bedrooms/bathrooms. Click HERE to read more or to register!
I will also be teaching in Scotland and England in the spring! The first workshop sold out in less than 24 hours so Summer has opened a SECOND WEEK! We are staying in a castle! Isn’t that insane? We will be creating in some of the most gorgeous countrysides and I can’t wait to be there with you!
With a sketchbook in hand we will begin in Edinburgh and travel through the Scottish Borders to the English Lake District. We will capture the landscapes and collect the lines and shapes in graphite, charcoal, pastel, watercolor and gouache. We will create a concertina sketchbook and smaller sketchbook to collect thumbnail sketches.
As we travel through Scotland and England you will collect a vocabulary of mark making, shapes and lines that will help you break down what you see with ease. Whether we are quickly painting a field, rolling hills, an old chapel, florals or the skies above you will be present in the sweetest way with your surroundings and your creativity.
