Speaking of getting over our creative fears…I’ve finally mustered the courage to announce something that I was asked to do back in January of this year…
I have been asked to instruct a one week Mixed Media/Collage Art Workshop in Tuscany, Italy in September 2007!!! The company who has asked me to teach, Toscana Americana, is best known for putting together “creative and cultural travel experiences” with some of the best artists in the industry…artists like Claudine Hellmuth, Lynne Perella, Gwen Diehn and Kathy Cano Murillo. What an honor to be listed amongst these incredibly talented women!!!
So if you’ve ever dreamed of escaping to an artistic retreat…and can imagine yourself creating under the Tuscan sun…consider joining me in September 2007 for a creative trip of a lifetime!!! I’ll be posting more details soon…in the meantime, enjoy a visual tour of travelling and creating the Toscana Americana way!!!
Congratulations for being asked to facilitate a workshop in Tuscany! What a wonderful opportunity! Italy is wonderful!

oh wohh Kelly!!! Congratulation!!! I have been to Italy lots of times and it is always wonderful…you will like it, I am sure! I would love to go there, too!!!
Having just returned from Italy, my only desire is to go back as soon as I can! Family & friends have asked me what was the best part of going to Italy and all I can say is that it makes me want to return for more! To give you a peek from my experience, I posted about the trip on my blog during March and April…. http://e14studio.blogspot.com
