Your Time With Ardith

When you step foot at the Perigord Retreat Center everything will shift. We will be connected with a beautiful place to breathe, unwind, and connect with the spirit and people of France as well as one another. This connection is exactly what my Gatherwell experiences offer members.

For 10 days we will peruse the countryside and visit various places of interest tied to history as well as spots that offer unique French experiences. I will guide you with creative prompts each day and teach you fun, meaningful ways to consider travel and connection through the lenses of your five senses and expression. We will draw, paint, write, and construct with graphite, watercolor, pastels, fluid acrylics, and charcoal as well as combine our efforts into a memorable collaborative project.

If you are looking to experience France while you grow as an artist and creative thinker, this workshop was designed for you.

For 20 years Ardith has be painting and teaching in person and online artists from around the world. Her journey as an artist was unexpected and different than most, with many medical and physical challenges along the way, but it equipped her with a unique perspective about expression, creativity, and the power of tapping into art as we move through the world.

She has offered painting retreats in the US, Ireland, and Italy and is thrilled to add France to her opportunities. Teaching painters to find their own versions of beautifully different and interesting is her passion and she shares the how and why in all of her workshops.
