Lavender has been cultivated in the Mediterranean region for at least 2500 years, after being imported from Persia. It thrives in the dry, sunny, Provencal summer days. Long know for it’s medicinal qualities, Lavender, or Lavandula, gets it’s name from the Latin lavare, meaning to wash. The oils from lavender blossoms are used for cleaning and disinfecting products, perfume, insect repellent, aromatherapy, healing sunburns and insect bites and treating migraines. Dried lavender is also useful as a sleep aid, for keeping moths out of closets, and for freshening up the linen cabinet.
We came upon the field and everyone fell silent in the same moment as we dove into the painting session. It was a very calming and beautiful experience. – Kirsten
Being able to be on the high spot in Bonnieux and pick out the field we wanted to paint was incredible. The smell, the views, the experience, incredible. – Marjorie

One of my favorite new experiences has been connecting with people to paint together virtually. Over the past two years I have been working to develop my online oil painting classes. Today I am pleased to offer a course that includes ten hours of live instruction, painting demonstrations, art critique and video tutorials. Now you can meet me in my studio and paint with me from anywhere in the world!
