COME Paint With Shani
“Surround yourself with people who make you hungry for life, touch your heart and nourish your soul’ ”
Imagine soul-filled days with seasoned women painters in cosy digs for 5 magic days painting plein-air in wild natural places. In the true spirit of a shared experience 8 self-sufficiant lady painters will bunk in, cook and paint together, enjoy evneings of open-hearted critique and sisterhood while dinner roasts and stories flow. These are gatherings to return to nature for creative expansion with the kind of connection that fills the cup and fuels our practice.
Come away for 7 soul-filled days with seasoned women painters along the wild Great Ocean Road. From windswept surf beaches and volcanic rock formations to ancient forests of Mountain Ash and fern gullies, nature offers a breathtaking canvas right outside our cozy holiday home at Wongarra. We will spend 5 magic days painting en plein air—following inspiration wherever it calls us along the coast and each evening, we’ll gather for open-hearted critique and sisterhood while dinner roasts and stories flow plus the iconic Wye Hotel is just down the road if we fancy a change. This is a gathering to return to nature for creative expansion with the kind of connection that fills the cup and fuels our practice. You will head home thoroughly nourished, with a bundle of paintings under your arm and a deeper sense of what it means to be truly alive.
