This is an artist's retreat, specifically for art teachers, in the Ardeche region of south-eastern France. It is in the foothills of the Alps. It is like a summer camp for art teachers! I was able to produce some new works, in a variety of media. It was a restorative and regenerating experience being there. Here is a sample of some of the work I created while there.
