Dear Creative Soul,

Imagine immersing yourself in a private, luxury art retreat, where every detail is designed to nurture your creativity and personal expression.

  • I treated some of my clients to this experience and everyone had a great time. All but one of us were rank beginners so painting can be intimidating. Robbi made everyone totally comfortable.

  • A Must take art class! This woman is amazing!! 6 of us were here in Santa Fe on a girls trip with completely different artistic backgrounds from myself with no artistic bone in my body to an interior designer/musician with great vision and a very artistic background. We all LOVED the class and particularly loved Robbi’s teaching style and her energy. After class she “read” our paintings like she was reading our souls and completely nailed who we each were individually through our piece. It was incredible and Robbi makes it so meaningful with her extra attention to each individual and her amazing intuition. Highly recommend.

  • An Amazing Two Hours! Maggie loves art and picked Santa Fe. I found Robbie’s site here and booked the three of us a two hour art class. The goal was to complete a painting, using acrylics, during this time. Robbie did an excellent job explaining techniques to use with this type of media. Maggie selected a painting from the many samples Robbie presented and we set to work. At the end of two hours the obvious artist with a beautiful painting was Maggie! My husband’s was fairly good and mine was headed to the trash. After the class we toured some of the galleries on Canyon Road. I realized I will never look at a painting the same after the things I learned from Robbie. So, although I can’t paint, I had a fun time and learned so much about art. My daughter now has a beautiful painting she had framed hanging in her home. Thank you, Robbie!
