We gather to begin the June workshop on Friday evening at my friend Stephanie’s 17th century home on rue Cardinale in the heart of Aix-en-Provence. We introduce ourselves and share a bit of our own personal stories and what brought each of us here. I explain the essence of the week to come and how strongly I believe that Destiny had formed this group and how each one in the group was going to climb their own spiritual and artistic mountain.

We begin the week in my home studio, learning about color theory and mixing our palettes.



Throughout the rest of the week we journey out into the landscapes: poppies, irises, seaside, in the footsteps of Van Gogh & Cezanne.
We learn about the true story of the artists, Cezanne & Van Gogh through the eyes of a painter.















We pack up our work each day, and step back to admire it at the end of the week in our group vernissage – full of life, memories and new friendships!
