My approach to teaching is very intuitive. Every single person who comes to these retreats is on a different level and brings with them their own unique style of learning. I like to read the room and meet each person right where they're at! From the basics to painting detailed florals and landscapes all the way to helping you get into that flow state. Teaching is my superpower.
Snapshot of previous retreats!
Retreats with me are unique. A full-blown experience.
Every detail matters.
A chateau in the countryside of France or a villa in Spain? Whatever country we're in, we're making sure it's picturesque and conducive to creating a flow of inspiration, amazing conversation and beautiful friendships with the other guests. Every evening we spend time doing connecting, Q&As with me on art, business, etc. , eating a beautifully prepared meal by the private chef and local wines. Every detail is thought through.
Picturesque accommodations and food prepared by a private chef?!
"The France Art Retreat was an absolutely wonderful experience. 12 women, with skills from professional artist to beginner, came together for a week of painting, laughter and learning. Jenna’s love for her craft and skill in teaching allowed each of us to get exactly what we needed as artists. There was something for everyone. I left France with a great set of new friends, more tools and skills for my next steps in watercolor painting and memories to last a lifetime. If you are considering going, don’t think…just go!"

I'm led by the guidance of the energy that comes from the group and it's truly a unique and special experience being able to pull out each person's unique talents and abilities over a week-long, intimate setting together. Every level of artist is welcome...yes, even the "I'm not creative" person or the "I've been painting for my whole life" person. My teaching abilities for in-person classes goes beyond technique and into the heart of creativity on an individual level.
So, What do you teach?
The program is truly unique for each retreat.
"I believe the retreat was a once in a lifetime opportunity for myself. Everyone in our group had a different background. I learned a lot of new things. And as a bonus I now have 12 new friends from all over. We're in contact and are planning to have a zoom meeting soon. I would do this all over again in a heartbeat."

France, 2022
We stayed at a delightful 18th-century French Manoir with some of the best wines the region has to offer. We visited Limoges, Château de Pompadour, and Ségur-le-Château and got loads of inspiration from the stunning landscapes, rolling hills, fairy tale villages, and chateaus of the area.
Morocco, 2023
We painted the exotic and vibrant elements of Morocco, inspired by the landscapes of Agadir including the High Atlas Mountains seen from our stunning eco-Kabash. We visited the beautiful beachside town of Taghazout, went shopping in a traditional Souk, and adventured out in the fine-grained orange dunes of the Mini Sahara Desert.
Spain, 2023
We enjoyed a private estate in sunny Andalucía, nestled within Spain's first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. With trips to discover the spectacular “pueblos blancos” of El Gastor, Setenil de las Bodegas, and Ronda, we indulged in tapas, wine tastings, and private chef-made Andalusian and Spanish cuisine.
Italy, 2023
Painting under the Tuscan sun!! Our home base was a historic estate where we got a taste of authentic Italy. We got our painting inspo from the backyard with stunning views of San Gimignano and the rolling hills of Tuscany. The fine cuisine, wine tasting, and piano nights after the art workshops made this week one to remember.
Portugal, 2023
We stayed at a premium Portuguese Quinta with 2.5 acres of lush Italian gardens, a swimming pool, and gorgeous vistas over the Atlantic coastline. After the painting workshops, we sailed through the hidden grottoes of the Algarve coast and explored the history of the ancient town of Lagos.
France, 2024
Based at a majestic 18th-century château, we painted floral and landscape pieces inspired by visits to the charming medieval towns of Montpezat-de-Quercy and Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val. We also experienced French culture with a family winery wine-tasting, exquisite cuisine, and a trip to a stunning botanical garden.
