This all started in 1989 when I took a month off from my job as Development Director for a private school in Colorado. I took my French easel and started exploring Europe. I fell in love with France, and my first website was paintingfrance.com. Of course, that didn't work well when I started organizing workshops in Italy, Greece, the Netherlands, England, Austria, Cuba, Argentina, and Mexico.
This is the one thing I'm most proud of: if an issue comes up during a workshop, I want to resolve it right away - not later. And I have some fascinating stories of issues that have come up. A favorite one was when I had a client take a glug of paint thinner, thinking it was water! All's well that ended well...
