What Our Guests Say About Their Experience…

 “…Thank you SO much for everything…but mostly for leading me to the magic of this place!”   – Susan K.

” …Thanks so much for organizing such an exceptional watercolor, history [and] geology retreat…a truly authentic French vacation!”   – Freida B.

“…Absolutely fantastic! I’ve traveled to every continent, yet I’ve never had such a welcome and intimate cultural immersion as I had on this trip. Every day was a new adventure, whether it was shopping in the local markets, picnicking on the river bank at the foot of a medieval castle, touring prehistoric cave paintings, or painting fragrant lavender fields in a sun-filled hidden vale. Each day was spectacularly planned, interesting, and stress free…And the food!  Lisa, you are a joy to know, your passion for art is a vibrant light that shines on everyone you meet! Thank you, Lisa, for creating such a unique opportunity for your guests to truly “experience” the incredible beauty of the Lot region through artistic adventures with a master instructor and wonderful new friends.”   – Regina R.

” Eat, Pray, PAINT! Thank you, Lisa, for organizing such an exquisite trip… from the moment you picked us up from the airport to each painting day in the perfect setting, I was blown away by your attention to detail and how easy you made our journey.”   – Lara H.

“Lisa, I go home with a very full heart. In France, and again in Italy, you gave me a personal experience I could NEVER receive from a tour! What you do in creating workshops in foreign countries is far grander than anything that could be achieved in the States. It is magical and fulfilling and worth every cent!”   – Kathryn O.

“…Everything far exceeded my expectations…”   – D.L.

” I can’t say enough about how well this adventure was planned and all the efforts made to make it an unique experience for all…Lisa was…delightful, kind and patient. She had a true sense and desire to create the best experience for all. She also exuded a joie de vivre for her passion to be doing what she loves. Very warm and relaxed atmosphere for all to enjoy. For me this was truly an experience beyond words.”   – Joy W.
