For the past three years I have presented painting workshops at The Hollyhock Learning Centre on Cortes Island BC. The program invites painters from all skill levels who want to slow down and experience nature through the act painting the extraordinary garden at Hollyhock the Forest and the Sea. Each person comes with their own skills and sensibilities which makes the experience dynamic and inspiring for everyone else, including me. With a comfortable schedule  we created three small paintings each, enjoyed gourmet meals, treated ourselves to tarot readings and massage and returned home rested, inspired and with new friends and connections. Looking forward to next summer with a new program for new and returning participants!

Stay tuned for international art retreats in Mexico, Switzerland and Italy, hosted by myself and artist/coordinator, Jennifer Playford.
