About the Making Your Mark Workshop

Three days of art, intention, and sea air on the Maine coast

September 2-4

Ocean Point, Maine

Limited to 8

What if your response to the world around you could become your own visual vocabulary?

Eliza Wing (Life Coach and Journal Artist) and I are returning to Ocean Point this September for our second journal-making retreat—and we would love for you to join us. This year’s theme is Making Your Mark: over three days, we’ll explore how observation and response to the environment can evolve into something genuinely, distinctively yours.

Working in a small group of just eight, you’ll create an art journal using a vintage book as your foundation. Through gel printing, drawing, stamp-making, collage, watercolor, and my distinctive mark-making approach, you’ll begin to develop a visual vocabulary that feels both intuitive and deeply personal.

Each day unfolds with intention—beginning in quiet, moving into exploration and art-making, then allowing time for integration and reflection. The coastal setting becomes part of the process, with botanical elements, color, and texture drawn directly from the landscape.

Whether you come with years of experience or are just beginning, this workshop offers personal guidance and a space to slow down, see more clearly, and create from a place that feels true.

My mind, my heart and soul have been on a beautiful journey with a wonderful group of women. I have learned from the best how to tap into my heart as I create.
