INTRODUCING:

Oil and Cold Wax Abstract
Painting Virtual Retreat


 October 14 - 18, 2025 


A 5-day creative immersion you can access at home, on your schedule.
 

The essence of my Greek Island retreat will be available as a beautifully designed, on-demand experience. You’ll still be able to experience the magic of this transformational retreat — from anywhere in the world.

Everything You Love About a Retreat — From the Comfort of Home

 This beautifully designed, on-demand experience brings the essence of my Greek Island retreat to you — complete with immersive video lessons, inspiring artistic guidance, and a taste of Greek culture.

You’ll learn new techniques, build a powerful series of abstract paintings, and reconnect with your creative joy — all without leaving home.

Here's what you'll get:

 Five Days of Immersive Video Lessons (Recorded Live)  

I’ll guide you through five full days of in-depth video lessons, all filmed live during my retreat in the Greek Islands. You’ll get:

  • Two lessons per day (about 3 hours total daily)

  • Step-by-step instruction in oil & cold wax, layering, mark-making, abstract composition, color mixing, and design

  • A daily project to help you apply what you’re learning in real time

 A List of Recommended Tools and Materials  

I’ll give you a thoughtfully curated supply list so you can feel confident and prepared from day one. You’ll get:

  • The exact brushes and surfaces I use in the lessons

  • My favorite brands of oil paints and cold wax

  • A variety of mark-making tools I personally recommend

 
 Private Facebook Community for Connection & Support  

You’ll be invited to a private group just for virtual retreaters and the in-person group from Greece. This is where we’ll:

  • Share artwork, ask questions, get feedback and celebrate progress together

  • Build real connections with other abstract artists around the world

  • Stay inspired, supported, and connected during the retreat

I'M IN!

BONUSES

To Support & Inspire Your Journey: 

Because I want this retreat to be more than just a one-time experience for you!

 Bonus #1 – Creative Color Course
(Tiers One and Two) 

This course will help you connect with your art through the power of color. You’ll gain instant access to four video lessons that guide you through using color in a meaningful, expressive way.

You’ll explore:

  • Using complementary colors for exciting, consistent results

  • The power of neutrals

  • How warm and cool tones create movement

  • Making your colors truly pop

Each lesson includes a theme, a thought-provoking prompt, and a project — all designed to help your art feel more personal, expressive, and alive.

 Bonus #2 – Handmade Marble Bowl 
(Tier Two) 

To bring a piece of Greece into your home, you will receive in the mail a handcrafted marble bowl, made by local sculptor Tom of Kalodromo Studio in Naxos. Each bowl is a small work of art — smooth, luminous, and unique.

Nestled in a quiet marble garden by the Aegean, Tom’s studio is where tradition meets beauty. Your bowl will arrive with a touch of the island itself: hand-collected sea salt from Naxos.

 Bonus #3 – 1 Year of Creative Clan Membership ($625 value)
(Tier Two) 

You’ll receive a full year of access to my Creative Clan — a monthly membership designed to help you continue growing as an abstract artist long after the retreat ends.

Each month, you’ll get:

  • A new lesson and module focused on a key abstract art principle

  • A step-by-step project that puts the lesson into practice

  • A live Zoom call where I’ll answer questions, offer insights, and connect with you and other members

  • Access to a private Facebook group where you can share your art, get feedback, and be part of a supportive community

Whether you're just starting or evolving your voice, this is the perfect way to stay inspired and supported all year long.

Experience Greece — From Anywhere

 

Each day, you’ll be transported to the Greek Islands with exclusive behind-the-scenes video footage of the retreat setting:
  • Meet Costantinos, a local vintner making wine on his grandmother’s land
  • Watch Tom, a marble sculptor from Switzerland, at work with rare Naxian marble
  • Join Chef Joseph from Athens as he introduces traditional Greek food
  • Walk with Stella through ancient villages
  • Explore the whitewashed alleyways and marble streets of Naxos’s old town, Chora
This is more than a course. It’s an immersive creative + cultural experience.

For artists of all levels — beginners to advanced — who want to go dive deeper in their practice.

 
 

What You’ll Be Learning Inside the Retreat:


I’ll guide you through the “how” and the “why” — so you’re not just following steps, but building real artistic skill and confidence.

Techniques We’ll Explore:


I’ll walk you through some of my favorite methods for creating rich, expressive abstract art, including:

  • Building up initial layers for depth and adding texture

  • Working with opaque vs. transparent paint

  • Expressive mark making techniques

  • Incorporating shapes and stencils

  • Painting with a brayer or squeegee instead of a brush

  • Creating a veil of color for atmospheric moods

  • Making a homemade printing press for unexpected effects

  • Using Citrasolve for reduction techniques

Design Principles We'll Apply:


We’ll also dive into some of the core elements that are guaranteed to make your abstract art really shine:

  • Building abstract compositions that are both strong and successful

  • Using the Rule of Thirds effectively

  • Creating movement across the canvas

  • Establishing focal points that guide the eye

  • Understanding why value is key to clarity and drama

  • Adding places of rest to balance your piece

 

At the end of our time together, you’ll have a small series of powerful abstract pieces — created step by step using everything you’ve learned and practiced!

🎨 Learn from home, on your own time
🎨 Get the same high-quality instruction as the in-person retreat, from the comfort of your home!
