Books & Brushes:
An Art Journaling and Watercolor Beach Retreat
I’m super excited to invite you to a very special event this August! It’s a creative retreat I’m co-hosting at the beach!
Join me and Kiala Givehand for a two day creative immersion retreat at Flow Studio in Neptune Beach, Florida!
The two-day, hands-on retreat starts on day one with blank pages that become handmade journals. Once we bind our journals, we’ll use watercolor to bring the pages to life. Before the day ends, we will take a short walk to the beach and use nature as our inspiration for a journal spread.
On day two, we’ll start with a walk to the Jarboe Park Garden for Plein Air nature journaling. Then, continue our second day with a nature-inspired printmaking activity, and end with several art journaling exercises. The weekend will be full of artful experimenting, playful prompts, and creative connections.

And we are doing a live FREE Artsy Meet up June 28, 3-4:30 est to celebrate! Come make some art with us, and if you like, ask some questions about the retreat – but you definitely don’t have to have a lick of interest in the retreat to come make art with us at the meet-up! Join here!
