Wild Blooms in the Wild West
Join me in the studio and unleash your creativity in this exciting live workshop focused on making beautiful, organic botanical paintings with encaustic and mixed media.
In this all inclusive live workshop…
you will learn how to work with encaustic, shellac and ink to create a small series of botanical paintings.
As we work together in the studio, I share all my secrets and reveal my step-by-step processes for developing compelling and unique floral forms and abstracted botanical designs.
Topics covered include: Working With Color, Getting Smooth Surfaces, Making Paint, Principles of Composition, Materials & Tools, Studio Safety and Supply Resources.
Wild Blooms Retreat
These creative workshops take place in my home and private studio space that is nestled in the foothills of the Northern Rockies. World renowned Sun Valley resort is less than 30 minutes away and offers shopping, dining and resort amenities.
Come see my private Idaho and be surrounded by a majestic mountain landscape as we create in the studio. In the evenings... we'll break bread together and share stories as we forge new friendships and explore creative ideas.

Hello my creative friend.
I have been a professional artist for well over three decades and I have been working with encaustic since 1998. During this time I have pioneered many painting techniques that I am excited to share with you.
