JUNE 14-19, 2025 * UPDATE- SOLD OUT!!!
ST. ANDREWS, NEW BRUNSWICK- CANADA
Thrilled to be heading back next summer to lead again at one of my favorite places on earth- where I was fortunate enough to live for an entire month as a resident artist in September 2022- Kingsbrae Garden in the charming seaside town of St. Andrews, New Brunswick- Canada.
You’ll live in a private, historic estate called KIRA (Kingsbrae International Residency for the Arts) overlooking a stunning piece of land, individual art studios, an incredible amphitheater and a 27 acre garden. Enjoy amazing meals each night prepared by a private chef (Pam is amazing!), explore St. Andrews, meet some of my special friends who are locals, shop, dine, collect shells plus experience the Bay of Fundy and Minister’s Island.
We’ll have daily art lessons in the studio and will create a variety of projects from floral to coastal themes. I promise you’ll have a blast no matter your skill level! Just ask the ladies who traveled with me this year:) Scroll through to see a few of the comments! Watch some highlights from my instagram HERE and HERE and HERE
