Spring, Summer workshops


Upcoming Workshops




I am now taking registration for Spring and Summer workshops to be held here in Niagara Wine Country.

3-day workshop dates and information are listed below. Along with instruction these extended workshops include complimentary evening wine and bonfire to relax after a day of painting..

As well, I will be holding a 1-day workshop to paint the May Orchards, which will be in full bloom (we hope). I only have a few openings left so please contact me soon if you’d like to join us.
This workshop also includes an orchard picnic lunch and complimentary glass of Niagara Wine.


All workshops include demonstrations and emphasis is on observation, composition, value, brushwork/ paint application, colour/simplified palette and individual interpretation. Media is in oil or acrylic and class size is limited, allowing for personal guidance and direction. Participants are responsible for their own materials and a list will be provided upon registration. If you are travelling I can also provide your materials for an additional fee.

If you are coming from out of town I can recommend some lovely and reasonably priced B&BS and inns set amongst our world renowned wineries. Alternately and pending availability I have comfortable lodging here that can accommodate an artist and partner or two singles sharing the room. Just contact me and I will send info.
