Private art retreat · Chatham, Virginia
Two days to slow down, listen, and create.
A private creative retreat in my home, just for you. We take the time to look at what you truly want, and then we let it become color, layer by layer, on your own vision board.
No experience needed. This isn't about making something perfect. It's about giving yourself permission to stop, feel, and express.
The two days
Just you, the materials, and space to breathe.
The retreat is tailor-made for one woman at a time. We talk, we write, we pause. Then we create with collage, paint, texture and words, the same way I build my own paintings.
Clarity
Guided reflection to see what truly matters to you right now, and what is asking for your attention.
Your vision board
Your desires and intentions turned into something you can see and live with: a large mixed-media piece made by your own hands.
Intuitive art
Gentle exercises to trust your instincts and let your inner world come out, without judging it.
One-on-one guidance
I'm with you the whole time, to support your emotions, your ideas and your creative voice.
Reflection and journaling
Time to write down what you discovered, so you leave with a clear direction for what comes next.
Your host
Bonjour, I'm Sandrine.
I'm a French-American contemporary mixed-media artist. Before painting, I spent years on stage in France, and I wrote shows for children. Painting became the place where I no longer need to perform.
That's what I want to offer you: two days where you don't have to perform either. Two days to come back to yourself, in a warm home, with trees outside the windows and a porch in the sun.
In their words
"Creating with Sandrine felt relaxing, liberating, and so much fun. I learned new techniques, and I'm truly proud of what I created. My painting turned out amazing."
Anne
"Sandrine was absolutely fantastic. Her warm and welcoming home set the perfect atmosphere for healing and growth. Everything about the retreat was great, and I can't wait to do it again."
