Taos, NM workshop

Join me in the historic Mabel Dodge Luhan House October 17-21st, 2022 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. 

Imagine waking up nestled in a space where writers and artists slept... like Ansel Adams, Georgia O'keefe, Dennis Hopper, and Willa Cather. Mabel Dodge Luhan House is a place where these creatives retreated to spend time focusing on their craft. Carl Jung stayed here. Mabel provided a place to nurture their creativity. It was a time for reflection. Focus. And free from distractions. Mabel's is such a special place wrapping you in culture and magic and I am honored to be teaching there. Space is limited to a rather small group to really connect and fellowship..... as well as room to create!

Register and More info Here!

We welcome Trista Hertz as a guest teacher artist for 2022!!!

Join me in the historic Mabel Dodge Luhan House October 18-22, 2021 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.
