HYDRA ARTIST TOURS
We take small groups of art students to the Greek island of Hydra for a two-week painting workshop. We can organize other types of workshops as well. We also help art instructors in bringing their own groups to Greece. Generally the art instructor and students come from the Denver/Boulder area of Colorado, but we can arrange for other locations.
We have recently added Yelapa, Mexico for yoga retreats. Yelapa is rather a mecca for yoga groups and has recently added a state-of-the art yoga studio. Like Hydra, Yelapa has no cars, buses, etc., only donkeys and horses, and we walk everywhere, often up alot of steps, again like Hydra. Yelapa is on a cove off the Bay of Banderas and near Puerto Vallarta. Please see the Yelapa page in the Painting Workshops.
We have been invited to give painting workshops on the island of Mallorca, Spain. More information available soon.

We are also an online Virtual Gallery and feature artists from Hydra, Greece, as well as Colorado, California, Denmark, Scotland and Holland. Click on the link Virtual Gallery for more information. It offers you a chance to buy art direct.
THE MANSION
We have a beautiful mansion in Hydra where we can give painting workshops for those who enjoy the luxury of sea views, multiple terraces, swimming pool, 6 elegant bedrooms each with its own bath, 2 kitchens and a sitting room with a grand piano.
The same house is available should you wish to bring a group of friends for a reunion or meetings or just plain enjoyment of the island of Hydra, which is a sophisticated island at the same time being simple and genuine--and breathtakingly beautiful.
It is also the ideal spot for a family who would like to have an artist join them for daily private lessons.
