From the moment I first set foot on the magical isle of Bali in 1998, I was captivated. I have traveled all over the world but Bali is the place that beckons me back. Our upcoming trip in 2024 will be my 20th visit. Bali has everything a traveler could want. The landscape ranges from lush green rice terraces, to volcanic mountains and gorgeous beaches. The culture is rich and majestic. The food is excellent, The people are beautiful, warm, and welcoming. And, there is ART everywhere. The Balinese aesthetic resonates with my own. I feel at home.
During my many visits to Bali I have developed deep friendships. My Balinese friends lead us to Balinese ceremonies few tourists ever see. I have explored all over the island in search of the most worthwhile activities. These have been curated and are now offered in EatPlayArt.
I have always been a creative. After a 40 year career as a psychotherapist, I am now devoting my time to abstract painting and traveling. Bali is the perfect place to indulge in both.
I love the magic of helping people find their creative voice and confidence in the exploration of art making. A part of each day will be devoted to art play, including new approaches and experimental exercises in acrylic paint, demonstrations and conversations. We will also engage in Soul Collage work, a deep and reflective process. Exerc
I love the magic of helping people find their creative voice and confidence in the exploration of art making. A part of each day will be devoted to art play, including new approaches and experimental exercises in acrylic paint, demonstrations and conversations. We will also engage in Soul Collage work, a deep and reflective process. Exercises are designed for the beginner as well as those who have had years of art experience. We have a wonderful, playful time together in a spacious work area at the Villa.
Art making is the way I have always integrated experiences; bringing the outside to the inside, the inside to the outside, the invisible to the visible. Painting is a powerful vehicle. I love working on that ambiguous edge. My drawings lean towards the representational, my paintings pushing into more numinous realms, the sculptural pieces spanning both.
I have a B.F.A. in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute and an M.A.in Art Therapy from the University of San Francisco/Lone Mountain and have taught art and art history for 30 years.
