Dear Creative Souls,

Imagine immersing yourself in a private, luxury art retreat, where every detail is designed to nurture your creativity and personal expression. My exclusive one-day, three-day, and five-day retreats offer a bespoke journey into artistic discovery, taking place in my personal studio behind the Santa Fe Opera—a serene haven where inspiration flourishes, set within our private 300-acre estate.

What Awaits You:

• One-on-one painting sessions with me, learning my exclusive techniques for daily creative inspiration

Each retreat is deeply personalized. Before your arrival, we will have a scheduled preparatory conversation about your artistic goals and desires, allowing me to craft a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will never be repeated for another guest painter.

As a guest, you will depart with one, two, or even more completed paintings, tangible expressions of your creative journey. For those choosing the three-day retreat, you will receive one year of private Voxer access to me, so I can coach you through creative roadblocks, answer your questions, and provide continued artistic support.

• One-day retreat (10 AM - 5 PM): $3,500

• Three-day retreat: $6,500 (includes one year of Voxer support and private chef-prepared meals)

• Five-day retreat: $10,000+ (includes VIP access to exclusive art spaces and personalized wellness add-ons)

• Retreats are scheduled at my convenience, as I split my time between NYC and Santa Fe.

Due to the highly exclusive nature of these retreats, reservations must be arranged at least one month in advance by calling me at 505-660-9904.

I take great care in curating my clientele and reserve the right to decline bookings to ensure the integrity and alignment of the retreat experience.
