The workshops I offer these days take the form of Creative Retreats. Their content has evolved out of my experience as a somewhat nomadic artisan and teacher. And while a great deal of my teaching experience was in the classrooms of schools and institutions I have found that the context of a focused retreat is more conducive to the exploration of our natural creativity.

It's this mysterious movement that has always been my passion. I see our artworks as maps of our journey into creativity rather than prescribed or pre-defined products. While I am now in the so-called retirement years of my life, I can easily be coaxed to share the delights of this creative journey.

Three workshop-retreat programs are offered:

the art of chance
a colored state of grace
empty canvas : wondering mind

The first two can be designed as three-day 'long weekend' events, or week-long events. In both cases they are preceded by an introductory evening. empty canvas : wondering mind is offered as a 6 or 7 day event, as it covers a great deal of territory.

The retreats are ideally offered at venues established with the intention to provide a space of beauty, tranquility and sanctity; places conducive to inner exploration, creativity and celebration.
