Join my Art Adventures

I offer art retreats abroad, such as Paint Tuscany and Paint Costa Rica. No in experience is necessary as you tour local culture and surrounding beauty, while either improving your painting skills or learning the basics of watercolor. Click on the drop down tabs under Art Adventures to find out more about each upcoming adventure.

As a watercolor and mixed media artist, instructor, and self-proclaimed art enthusiast, I have uncanny insight into the steps it takes to develop a painting, to blend colors, and to enjoy the process. I enthusiastically teach art and lead these adventureuous art retreats and workhops to various countries and within the US. 

Workshops are also frequently offered near my hometown in Bend, Oregon, as well as other locations around the US. A schedule of workshops will be posted in a drop-down tab of Art Adventures.

Testimonials:

"Our trip to Tuscany to paint with Sarah as our teacher was extraordinary in so many ways. We were based in the most beautiful countryside in the world with excursions to historic hill towns to photograph awesome points of interest. Sarah taught us techniques of watercolor painting while focusing on one of our photos each day. We experienced the culture, food, history, and the people all while painting a record of what Italy is about with a wonderful small group from Oregon. Sarah took watercolor novices and gently brought us confidence and skill. It was truly the experience of a lifetime!"  ~Mary Lou, Paint Tuscany 2017, from Oregon

"The best trip and teacher in so many ways" ~ Marlene, Paint Tuscany 2017, from Oregon

"What can I say? 'This was a trip to remember', doesn't quite sum it up. It was more than that. So thrilled with the daily excursions and amazing watercolor  lessons. You are such a great teacher." ~ Christy, Paint Tuscany 2018, from Illinois
