treasure hunt

a dream come true

What an wonderful weekend we had! Twenty amazing women traveled from across the country (and Canada) to join me for the "inaugural" retreat- You, Me & the Sea- in my new studio space. We spent the weekend sketching, beach combing, exploring, painting, creating and getting to know each other and by the end, I was so inspired by each and every one of them. Having the opportunity to host a class in my own space and share my little hometown with others was truly an honor and a dream come true. I am so excited for this new chapter and the exciting possibilities for this little studio space! Here is peek into the weekend...

retreat ready!

It is official! My new studio has been transformed into a classroom and on Friday I will welcome 20 wonderful women into my space to create for three days. I am exhausted from all the preparation but so excited for this new chapter. I have been planning and dreaming about this for years and seeing it all come to life has been so exciting. This process has been a labor of love and I couldn't have done it without help from my amazing family- we have all been working around the clock to get things retreat ready! I will be signing off until Monday but here is a little peek inside my studio/classroom.
