What makes this workshop unique?
Each workshop is geared toward what you need/want to work on in your own painting practice. The atmosphere is relaxed and supportive, and we will work with acrylic paint and mark making tools. Expect some structure with assigned exercises designed to get you going, but the focus will be on me helping each participant individually with their painting issues. Consider it a mini residency!

This workshop is ideal for artists at all levels who are passionate about abstract painting and eager to push their boundaries. Whether you’re a beginner looking to gain confidence or an experienced artist seeking fresh inspiration, this mini residency offers the perfect opportunity to grow and transform your practice.
What are the benefits of a small group workshop?
Each workshop is limited to 3 participants so I can give everyone the personalized attention you would expect in a one-on-one private workshop. Participants are also more comfortable with adequate space to paint larger than they might ordinarily.

What People Are Saying
“Painting with Julie was so helpful, she was able to access both my strengths and also where I needed extra attention! She helped me through my ‘stuck’ stages, by using less color and simplifying! She teaches with much ease and grace which helped me loosen-up and expand…BOLD moves!” -Carmen P.
