Santa Rosa Beach, FL • September 3–6, 2025

A Creative Retreat for the Soul Friend, I’m so excited to invite you to something very close to my heart—my Abstract Art Retreat in beautiful Santa Rosa Beach this fall. Over the last year, I’ve found myself in a deeply creative season—pouring myself into painting abstract works and developing unique specialty finishes for the custom frames that hold them. And I’ve heard from so many of you: "I want to do that too."   This retreat was born out of that longing.   This is not just about painting. It’s about learning how to see again—through color, through composition, through quiet moments where you’ll reconnect with your creativity and your calling. We’ll explore the foundations of abstract art together, discover the wisdom of the masters, and you’ll finish with your very own collection of original works.   You’ll also craft a beautiful hand-finished frame to showcase your favorite piece—because presentation is part of the art.   But more than that, this is a time to rest, dream, and rediscover your purpose. We’ll talk about honoring God with our gifts, and how creativity can become a beautiful offering of faith. My hope is that you’ll leave this retreat with a new sense of direction, artistic clarity, and lifelong friends who truly understand your heart.
