Art Retreat in France
Our five-day retreats take place in Mandelieu-la-Napoule in the South of France, a few miles from Cannes. The program is held on the property of the La Napoule Art Foundation, which includes the Château de La Napoule and the adjacent 10-bedroom Villa Marguerite. The villa houses artists-in-residence and retreat participants. The château sits directly on the Mediterranean and dates back over 2,000 years. For more than 70 years it has hosted artists and creative programs, with several working studios located inside the castle. We will also make art and have daily visualizations outside in the garden and on the rooftop.
A retreat with a difference...
As a clinical psychologist, neuropsychologist, and self-taught artist, my teaching focuses on process rather than product. I help artists develop their own voice by working through the uncertainty that naturally arises in art-making.
We work with what each participant brings to the studio. The aim is to unlock your natural style while building a clear understanding of color value, composition, and balance. The goal is to create work that reflects who you are, rather than trying to match an idea of what “good art” should look like.
