When: March 3rd-6th, 2026
Where: Kelly’s Residence and Studio
This is for instruction only if you don’t wish to pay for lodging!
During the retreat, I’ll teach the fundamentals of oil painting, with a focus on flowers — one of my very favorite subjects. And we’re thrilled to be joined by floral designer Anne Carney, who will lead us through hands-on flower arranging sessions using seasonal blooms. We will also have fresh fruit and beautiful printed cloths to create wonderful compositions for our paintings.
There’s something really magical about this pairing: arranging flowers with your hands, then translating that beauty into paint. We’ll explore both, while also making space to talk about creativity, inspiration, and the rhythms of an artful life.
