International Art Retreats
‘One of my favourite things in my life to do is teach overseas to artists of all levels. People from North America, New Zealand and Europe have participated in these retreats and many have returned a number of times’.
Michelle gets very excited every time she speaks of her international art retreats of which she has been doing since 2007. ‘The enriching experience of another culture and country is amplified ten fold when combined with creating art. The senses are heightened. It’s that pause and relaxation of art that truly allows you to see, smell, taste and absorb all that is around you. And being with like minds opens the conversations of these experiences. Very tight and enduring friendships have been bonded over the years. I absolutely love it!’

Join artist Michelle Miller for our annual tour on the beautiful Amalfi coast and experience a painting and drawing retreat. Stay at Il Giardino de Vigliano, a charming 16th-century farmhouse located near the picturesque village of Sorrento. Our hosts, the Nunziatas and their rescue dog Bresciola tend to the 300-year-old lemon trees on their working farm overlooking the lemon groves and olive trees of Sorrento and enjoy views of the Bay of Naples. The stunning vistas will inspire a week of art classes with Michelle. Throughout the week, we will delight our senses with the sights and sounds of Italian coastal life, indulge in the incredible (and we do mean incredible!) food and wines, and enjoy fresh homemade cuisine as we immerse ourselves in the culture, allowing it all to resonate in the wonderful art you will produce!
