🤗I’m excited! …after an intentionally quiet winter ( I blocked off my calendar so I could focus on painting , & travelling to see my daughters, one is in Queenstown & the other in Australia) , my Art retreat season is beginning again and I’m really looking forward to it!
In case you don’t know, I hold small private art retreats ( mixed media) here on my property. We have a two bedroom unit and my studio on site.
These magical private retreats are for 2 to 3 people, and I most often get couples, mums and daughters, siblings and friends coming along and staying 4 -6 days with 2 -3 days in the studio with me.
Add to that the fact that I’m literally in one of the most stunning parts of New Zealand on the coast, Tairua, Coromandel Peninsula ( we live 250m from the beach) …people that come say it’s an experience they’ll never forget.
So next week is the beginning of some regular bookings leading up to Christmas, and I get to share my joy, my creative processes and techniques with the loveliest people. Somehow the right people always find their way to me and we always become besties at the end of it. 💛
I’m always amazed at the transformation of someone from day one to the day they leave , which is a very short space of time. (3-5 days) .
The way we explore the creative process, the way I watch them slowly let go, and step into their intuition & own natural flow is always a beautiful thing to me. often looking at a completely different person the day we say goodbye. Freer, happier, calmer… it’s wonderful.
My ‘season’ goes from October to April , which is our spring / summer (and yes I do make exceptions for people that can only travel May through September 👍 ).
If you’re curious & would like to know more, use the contact tab in the Menu & flick me a message, I’d love to chat. Or go to the Art Retreats & Workshops page in the Menu.
Bye for now , I’m off to prep my studio & cottage for 2 lovely ladies arriving Monday.
Have a great weekend!
