   Summer is Over and Fall Begins

   I had an amazing summer, taught a painting workshop at a 17th century Chateau in France with an amazing group of artists! So amazing that the owner of the Chateau has asked me to return next July to teach another workshop (info below). 
   After France I traveled through the North of Spain looking for potential spots to hold workshops abroad in the future. After that, I was off to Montana to help train some up and coming GOLDEN Art Educators and then spent a week in San Francisco doing some learning myself...what a great way to welcome the FALL.

   This will be a short Newsletter as I have lots to share next month....exciting news!!

Join me in FRANCE, July 2019
