I am finally getting my new classes organized and moving into a new studio. I will be joining a group of women-owned businesses in a quaint cottage in Vancouver. My new studio space is awesome and I will be holding classes there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I am still teaching at Clark College, but these classes will be somewhat different in flavor.
The new classes are geared more toward creativity than learning to be a great painter, although that is probably going to be the most welcome by-product of the classes.
We will learn to paint in a relaxing and gentle atmosphere where process is more important than product. My students will learn to paint, but the focus will be on relieving stress, finding their inner artist, and discovering something new about themselves.
VISUAL VOYAGES
By extension, this will also be headquarters for my NEW traveling workshops. I am planning a spring workshop at Whidbey Island, Washington, where a group of painters will spend five (5) luxurious days unwinding in Langley by the Sea during the rhododendron festival. This small seaside village is home to art galleries, restaurants, spa treatments, and antique shops and is surrounded by tulip gardens.
We will stay at an elegant English country inn with a fireplace in every room, wander through gardens to the Monet style lily pond, take a bike ride on the path to the salt water beach through old growth forests, or just sit in the sun and enjoy the sounds of nature from the scenic patio. Studio lessons daily, with side trips to Meerkerk Gardens, spas, antique hunting, bicycling, and nature walks with breathtaking views of Saratoga Passage and the neighboring islands
WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN US? Take this private time to indulge your artistic dreams. Learn to use watercolors to sketch the natural beauty of your surroundings, join photography hikes to record the awe inspiring scenery, or attend journaling workshops that explore your own stories. Meals will be provided except for one lunch and one dinner on the town to explore. Aroma therapy and spa massage included in the price.
