Throughout the years of my artistic work, one of the main sources of my inspiration has come through the connection I have with my spiritual practice’s. With this upcoming retreat however, I will be collaborating with a group of wonderful teachers and friends who will be bringing their own unique and special teachings to this event, they are Sandra McAlpine, Jonny Bear and David Arkenstone Barnett. By joining our energies, we will create for you an incredible experience that will unlock and open that special door within where you will experience the beauty of art, meditation, shamanic work and Atlantis.

.

Emotional moments are a very important part of the painting process, and I have had over the years many many moments of tears, joy and of mourning. I have always found though that at those times of great emotion I have managed to channel these emotions and express them into my art, and that during those special moments the actual outcome of the painting is no longer the driving force; it is in fact the expression of the actual emotion that is the real goal. And yet in the end those paintings are to me the most beautiful and the most powerful.

As an observer of these pieces of art you can really feel what the emotion was at the time of the painting’s creation because at that very moment we are truly connected to the source, in fact, that is how many of the great masterpieces we know today were created. This retreat therefore will be an opportunity for participants to connect to and learn directly from the source.

.

This retreat is open to all levels of painters, from those who are at the beginning of their painting path, right through to those with more experiences or who have attended my previous weekend workshops. For beginners we will go through a range of my well-established painting techniques that will focus on ‘unlocking the artist within’, and for advanced painters we will delve into deeper levels of my painting technique’s.

.

This retreat has therefore been designed to be a beautifully emotional and physically cleansing experience, an experience that is fundamental to the creative artistic process and its outcome.

If we think about physics and the structure of the atom, what the artist creates on the surface of the canvas is a whole new universe which vibrates with the energy the artist gave it in the moment of creation.  In this manner the artist creates a whole new universe…
