Workshops For May 2025

5/1/2025

Coming up this month, I have two workshops on the schedule. The first is on May 7th at the Mahwah Public Library and is a joint presentation & watercolor workshop all about Claude Monet and Monet's garden in Giverny, France. The presentation and painting portion have separate registration links because some attendees may prefer to only attend the presentation and not the painting portion. *Painting materials are provided
Next, we're returning to the Hermitage in Ho Ho Kus, NJ for a plein air workshop. This is our 2nd year and I can't wait to get back and instruct this workshop! This historic site is beautiful and has a great garden also. Our previous workshops have been a lot of fun and if you're new to it then this is a great way to try out plein air painting - Come join us!
