Join me and see how I use my painted and collage papers to create my signature floral paintings. Do you want to learn to loosen up your painting style? Have you been wanting to learn more about composition and color theory? Want to further explore print making?
Join me in the Fall of 2025 for a new Art-ish Creative Retreat, Footloose Florals.
“Wonderful as always, the attention to detail to ensure our comfort is amazing.”
Three days of art and fun
For 2025, I am bringing you a new retreat experience. One of the most frequently asked questions about print making is “What do you do with it?”. I’m ready to share one of my favorite ways to use printed papers and fabrics. We will focus on florals, but the basics apply to all of our paintings. Will you join me?
“Mary is a wonderful teacher and so approachable. So giving of herself and sharing ideas and examples of earlier art. Truly a joy to experience one of her classes.”
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
During this 3-day retreat we will explore several styles of print making, create PILES of printed paper and fabric, then use them to create amazing abstract floral paintings. . This retreat is limited, allowing for personal instruction with everyone.
This retreat is for everyone looking to:
learn more about print making (we’ll cover the basics too!)
gather inspiration from nature
explore composition of paintings
have fun with color theory to create eye-catching art
learn about using underpaintings and collage
practice, practice, practice
