Artwork from my trip to the French Pyrenees and Italian Dolomites

In the fall of 2024, I facilitated a Women’s Retreat in Puilaurens, France deep in the majestic and rugged Pyrenees mountains. It was magical and fabulous. Each day we did our inner work and then in the afternoons were free to explore, hike, shop, visit historical sites or lounge around the chateau. One day was an adventure day and we went to a delightful little town on the Med, Collioure, France.
After leaving the Pyrenees, I traveled alone to hike in the Italian Dolomites, some place I had always wanted to visit. It snowed up in the mountains as I arrived and was simply glorious. It was so inspiring. I would wake up before the sun came up so I could be at the trail head to catch the morning shadows. One morning I hiked for 2 full hours watching the sun dance with the clouds around the tall spires. So many beautiful images to capture.
One week after hiking in the Dolomites, I traveled to Belgium to visit close friends and it was so amazing. I have never felt so loved and such belonging.
Finally, I left Belgium to visit friends in Frankfurt, Germany. People I had met through friends in Montenegro. They were fabulous hosts and treated me to a royal tour of the area around Bad Homburg. You can see some of the cards I painted for them are from the area.
