ART FOR THE SOUL
MARION MCCRISTALL ART & PHOTOGRAPHY

ART & PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS

Art for the Soul workshops are taught by Marion McCristall and guest artists and photographers. We provide a friendly environment that encourages and inspires artistic growth. We believe everyone has an artist inside them ready for creative expression and we want to help you find your artistic voice. Whether you are a beginner or professional or somewhere in between, our classes will inspire you to explore various art media or photography techniques and create imagery you will be proud of. Each class includes tutorials followed with side-by-side guidance from the instructor. We also offer private classes for individuals or small groups.
WOMEN'S ART RETREAT
Loon Lake Lodge Maple Ridge, BC
Relax, Create and Be Inspired at our Women's Art Retreat
Join us this fall for Creative Art Experiences in the serene pine forest at Loon Lake Lodge and Retreat Centre.
The Retreat includes accommodation in the beautiful Johnson Cabins, all meals, art materials, and art instruction.
We will start the retreat with a half hour forest walk along the lake to clear away stresses and to prepare for enjoyable and relaxing Creative Art Experiences. We will be making what Marion calls Absolutely Abstracts. No art experience is necessary as Marion will teach all the basics you will need. We will explore a variety of media and colours on paper and canvas.
The Retreat is intended to give you a pause from the stresses of everyday life in a beautiful natural setting while you pick up a brush with paint and explore your creative side. You will return home with your painted treasures to keep for yourself or share with others.
