Some of my 2018 news!

In June 2018 another workshop/retreat was added to the mix. Rather than watercolor, we spent the week with a different media each day--textiles with Shibori and weaving, printmaking, jewelry, pouring acrylics and more! It was a tremendous success and will be added as a second Ghost Ranch week for Spring!
