Our Italian Story 

Saluti to an amazing group of women who crossed an ocean to give themselves the gift of a lifetime - time to explore and create.  

I am honored that I along with Il Chiostro Workshops had the opportunity to host this group at the incredibly beautiful Lake Garda. 

We began our exploration in Verona, and then traveled to Hotel Gardenia Al Lago on stunning Lake Garda for the duration of our workshop. We walked the town, met and bought art from the local artist, got on the ferry, shopped till we dropped and painted and sketched like there was no tomorrow. And we ate some of the most beautifully delicious food ever. I am so grateful to get to host these trips with Il Chiostro Workshops.  

My first workshop with Il Chiostro was way back in 2007. It's truly been one of the best things I've ever participated in. Ever.  My heart is full as I plan my next year's trip to Italy. Let me know if  you'd like to come along with us on the next adventure. 

Grazi Mille,

Karen
