The Art of Noticing

Guided Painting Retreat

Massignano, Le Marche, Italy

Join me in the beautiful Le Marche region of Italy for a week of intuitive painting, creativity, connection, and slow living.

Together we'll gather inspiration from the sea, medieval villages, local culture, and the breathtaking landscape surrounding Chiaraluce Country House. Through watercolor, acrylic inks, mixed media, mark-making, and layered painting techniques, you'll explore a process rooted in curiosity, play, and personal expression.

We'll create abstract landscapes in sketchbook, small intuitive studies, abstract backgrounds, and symbolic portal paintings while embracing the beauty of experimentation and discovery. Along the way, we'll enjoy shared meals, meaningful conversations, cultural excursions, and spacious time to relax, reflect, and simply be.

This retreat is open to all levels and is designed for anyone longing to reconnect with their creativity in a supportive, inspiring setting.

Natural elements gathered from our surroundings… leaves, stones, feathers, and found textures may become part of the work, connecting your creative process to place and experience.

This retreat is both restorative and exploratory… a space to deepen your relationship with materials, reconnect with your creativity, and discover what unfolds when you allow curiosity to lead.

Between sea and sky, paint and possibility, discover what wants to emerge.
