Artists Rising Retreats

Connecticut River Valley Inn

Only 4 spots left!

May 24th - May 29th, 2026

Join me for a soulful, immersive creative retreat in the beautiful Connecticut River Valley. Over five days, we’ll explore watercolor, acrylic inks, and mixed media through playful, intuitive practices — from morning garden walks and meditative sketching to layering expressive portal paintings and creating hand-painted affirmation cards.

This retreat is about carving out time for yourself: to slow down, reconnect with your creativity, laugh, share stories, and make art that inspires and delights. All while enjoying a historic, picturesque home, gorgeous gardens, chef-prepared meals, and meaningful connection with fellow artists.
