It is pretty exciting to me to be asked to combine my love of art with my faith!
There are few things that determine my day to day as much as my faith and the creativity that the Lord as placed in me.
Those two factors have everything to do with how I make a home, raise my children, run a business, love my friends, open my home and grow my marriage.
If you have taken any of my online art classes you know that I believe with my whole heart that our gifts were given to us to bring us joy, bless those around us and to ultimately honor the Lord.
When Laura asked me to come back just one more year to Lake Como it was so much on her heart to make this retreat more her than ever before.
She wanted a retreat that combined everything she loved about Bellagio and the Lake Como area with her deep love of the Lord.
I am so excited to teach next year alongside the talented Stephanie Ackerman and to share my heart for women, the Lord and the gifts we have been given.
My mind has been spinning non stop thinking of the art, projects and devotions I want to share with you!
I already know that some of our time together will be based around the theme of “For Such a Time as This” and “Be An Adventurer”.
I can promise you that you will leave this retreat not only visually inspired by the beauty of Italy but also knowing more about who YOU are in Christ and where your gifts are wanted and needed.
More information about the art and class descriptions will be coming soon.
Registration opens TOMORROW for this brand new retreat and it will be unlike anything I have taught at to date.

I am excited to be hosting an Art retreat again! If you followed me this year on FB or IG, you noticed that Jeanne Oliver and I “co-hosted” an art event a few weeks ago in Bellagio. It was an amazing week and I was honored to combine forces with her in her vision for “The Living Studio” retreats she plans on doing all over the globe! So I’ve asked her to come back AGAIN and teach for me next summer!! I have a vision for this Creative Art Retreat that I think will be a blessing to everyone who signs up! I have two teachers who are super excited to join me and share their journeys and their God given talents with us and I think you will be blessed and inspired by both of them!
Here’s a preview of what the Creative Art Retreat will include:
Jeanne, if I’ve never really done any “artwork” would this be something I could use? I have quite a few of your courses but not applied them yet. Lots of changes in my life in the past year haven’t spared me the time but by next year things will be better and I would love to be there with you and share your gifts of faith and talent.
This will be art for all levels! I hope you decide to join us. The registration opens in about 30 minutes. We are the week of July 11-18th! Let me know if you have any questions.
I don’t have the money to participate in this adventure but appreciate your faith, it shows with your posts and classes. Have taken several classes from your site and appreciate you keep the costs low and the content out of this world wonderful. When are you going to posts the bags that we have all been drooling over.
I continue to be in ‘awe’ of how you live & lead your life with deep authenticity. BRAVO BELLA!!!
If anyone is sitting ‘on the fence’ … just JUMP … as this will be a hugely transformative experience
on ALL levels (coming from someone just returned from a magnificent journey in Bellagio with both
Jeanne & Laura:)). Biggest Love & Gratitude, Paula

Thank you and I agree!
My Mom paid her deposit for the art retreat. We are both excited that she is going! What an amazing concept, inspired by the LORD.
That is so exciting! We are going to have the most incredible time.
What an incredible opportunity to share your creative gifts and your faith, Jeanne! I’m so happy for you!
I think any time you can honestly share the most important parts of who you are it is a really good thing. Have a great night.

Paula, thank you so much! I am so grateful that our paths have crossed again and again. You are a treasure and I love that we are deeply connected.
How exciting for both you and your fortunate students! Happy for you!
I am excited too to plan this next retreat!
Help! I have been trying to put my name on the wait list for the Paris trip and the system won’t let me do it. Can you help?
Please contact Laura directly because this is her retreat but I believe the Paris retreat is sold out. It is a small group.
Can’t wait to see you! Xoxo Zoey
Yes! So excited!
I can’t believe it. This is my neighbor country! Everything on this program speaks to my heart. Thank you for bringing this so close.
