Field Arts Bootcamps
Join me for one (or more!) of my live-in-person retreats for field artists and nature journalers: four to seven full days of pure nature exploration and journaling in an immersive backcountry experience.
Imagine the luxury of spending multiple days doing nothing but nature observation, learning, sketching, and writing with a cohort of like-minded fellow journalers . . . and with customized one-on-one feedback and specific skills-tutoring throughout the whole experience.
My bootcamps are suitable for beginners to advanced journalers, as I tailor each person’s experience to their appropriate level and needs. Nurturing, inquisitive, and expansive.
No excuses. Just pure nature journaling growth and mindset.
