WEEKEND PAINTING WORKSHOPS / RETREATS
No painting experience necessary!

Many of my friends and family wanted to have have an opportunity to experience the joy and freedom of painting, so we created "Weekend Painting Workshops at my studio. Over the past three years, we have hosted almost one retreat a month with many students returning for a second and third weekend.

The workshops are at my studio in the charming, small town of Anchor Bay on the Northern Coast where "the redwoods meet the ocean" approximately 2 1/2 hours from San Francisco. I am blessed to have an incredible art studio overlooking the ocean surrounded by a redwood forest.
It's a relaxing, rejuvenating weekend in the country where we just paint. Within each of us is our own individual creative center. You contact that center during the weekend. I encourage you to paint, paint and paint some more... But most importantly - we have FUN! 

Workshops are very small (6-8 people) so enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis.
