Art Activity

Create by the Sea:
Private Painting Experience

Create your own abstract artwork inspired by the colors, memories, and beauty of California’s coast, personally guided by Lisa in her signature style during a private, hands-on experience. Explore expressive mark-making, layering, and color in a relaxed, creative setting designed for friends, family, or colleagues.

​

Held at a partner artist studio in Pacific Grove, with all materials included and no art experience necessary.

​

Leave with your own original painting, memories of a special creative experience, and some great recommendations for exploring Monterey Bay afterward.
