In person workshop in Taos!!

Enchanted Workshop
Taos, NM
Mabel Dodge Luhan House
Historic Inn and conference center

Join me in the historic Mabel Dodge Luhan House October 19-23rd, 2020 for 4 nights and 3 full days of creative time.  I’ll be leading you through painting exercises and break out demo’s each day. We will explore animals that speak to us as well as those we might encounter in magical Taos, NM. Diving into what it means to foster happy accidents by working quickly and channeling our inner child, we will scribble and enjoy the process, not worrying about the outcome. Creating is a part of the journey and every mark and “mistake” should be celebrated. Therein, lies the magic of the creative process. We will create with the mindset of what it means to be free to be YOU.

I have stayed at Mabel’s twice in the last several years and have dreamed of teaching there one day. Mabel’s is a place that holds a rich history of hosting artists and writers such as Willa Cather, Georgia O’Keefe, and Dennis Hopper. The food is incredible. The indescribable rich nostalgia grips at you. That is really the only way that I know how to describe this place. 
Only 11 spots left!


Food
Breakfasts and Lunches are included as well as one dinner on our last night. You will be on your own for dinner the other 3 nights. There are lots of great restaurants close to Mabel’s.
