My retreat in Sardinia with Katrina Koltes was so much more than an opportunity to paint. Katrina is wonderfully creative, soft-spoken, extremely kind and generous, watchful without ever being intrusive, and incredibly encouraging. Everything was meticulously planned, from the choice of a beautiful, scenic and wonderfully relaxing venue to the cultural and natural excursions, with thoughtful surprises and unexpected gifts along the way. Meditation and resonant experiences offered gentle opportunities for self-reflection, while the caring, fun companionship made the whole experience feel both nurturing and joyful. I came because I wanted to break away from realism and begin using my imagination more freely, and Katrina is exactly the right person to help nurture that desire.
