*Reviews of our Retreats*
“Wow, what an exceptional experience! The “artist retreat” in the Bordeaux region of France, put together by Stephanie, was filled with landscapes, food, workshops, and local flavor. There is nothing like seeing a country through the eyes of someone who has not only grown up there but has a family farm to pull her home from time to time. I never knew eggplant could grow so tall, nor that I could actually capture one in a watercolor as a first time watercolorist! I brought home felted pelts I learned to make, photos of gardens overflowing with water lilies and narrow streets through hillside villages. Our art teachers were wonderful. We stayed in an historic farmstead…with a pool. The food was local and deliciously prepared. Stephanie is the consummate travel and tour guide. And, the wines of the region aren’t half bad either!” – From one of our 2025 guests
