Summer Painting Retreat
Come to an idyllic setting on Vancouver Island and let yourself indulge in artistic expression. Setting aside time to really delve into your painting is a rare chance and one worth taking. My vision is to provide a holistic environment where you can explore individual directions at your own pace. I will be available to offer guidance, technical knowledge and supportive feedback. Imagine setting up a home base in the teaching space and then venturing off to paint outside. A little later you could take a breather, stretch on your yoga mat or have an inspiring conversation. I hope to create an unforgettable week of creative growth with you.

ABSTRACT Painting with GOLDEN Paints
This a unique chance to see how I utilize GOLDEN products in my own abstract painting practice. Some of my favourite methods / mediums are: starting a painting with the sporadic application of Gesso, working with chalky tints (mixed with Gesso for under-layers), doing viscous hard edge scrapes with Heavy Gel Gloss and fluid free form swaths using Gloss Medium and coating edges with Matte Medium. During my presentation I will demonstrate some of my techniques using GOLDEN products and talk about what informs the abstract trajectory of my art practice.
