Château de Borie · 2027

Four retreats. One château. A year of reasons to come back.

A season timeline for the 2027 program — painting in spring, memoir in May, painting again in summer, and French immersion in September. A fifth retreat joins the lineup in a few weeks. Stay tuned!

The Spring Atelier

Come make art with me.
