Oaxaca will seduce your senses — You will leave feeling fully alive & inspired
A LITTLE ABOUT OAXACA
Oaxaca is pronounced Wa-Ha-Ka, and is both a city and a state (like New York, NY) in Southern Mexico.
Oaxaca, Mexico is a land of magic, mythos, and Art. You’ll find traditional weavers, sculptors, potters, dancers, musicians, storytellers and curanderas (indigenous healers) mixing it up with modern painters, photographers, writers, and poets.
Oaxaca is a Unesco world heritage site, with no less than 21 cathedrals within the historic center, towering limestone walls, and secret gardens behind every adobe walls and doorway.
Oaxaca is known as “the land of the seven moles“. My favorite mole of them all happens to be “guacomole” — Oaxaca has the best!
From Oaxaca's powerful murals to the traditional crafts you can cradle in your hand, to a rich, robust contemporary art scene — painting is the pulse of Oaxaca — and I guarantee she will breathe new life into your creativity.










EXPLORE, GATHER, PAINT
I’ll invite you to embrace the world as an Artist — we’ll hunt for visual symbols, unveil revealing metaphors, and open ourselves to serendipity, creativity, and the sweetness of the unknown.
I’ll share with you my favorite ways of gathering the richness of Oaxaca in your sketchbook and studio log and then show you how to incorporate it into your painting practice.
I’ll encourage you to fully FEEL Oaxaca — to allow it to take over your senses and guide your body of work.
I’ll lead you to some of the most inspiring murals, studios, galleries and museums where we’ll overindulge in painting! painting! painting!
OUR CULTURAL ADVENTURES WILL INCLUDE
- A sketching tour of Oaxaca City to explore the many murals, galleries, and cultural sites this city holds.
- Climbing the pyramids at Monte Albán the historical center of Oaxaca where mythos runs deep.
- Visiting Santa María Atzompa, the place of green and white clay and ritual.
- Exploring San Martín Tilcajete to learn how Alebrijes -- Oaxaca's magical creatures that inspired Pixar's Coco are created.

EXPECT A LOT OF FEARLESS® PAINTING — A LOT!
During our time in the studio, I will guide you through an intuitive journey of art making while sharing my favorite techniques and insights on being bold and FEARLESS creatively. You can expect creative exercises, guided visualizations, juicy, deep discussions on art, creativity, and the Artist Soul, paint rituals, and loads of time to sink into your own creative practice.
We will dip our brushes into our own personal narratives and welcome the spirit of Oaxaca to take us deeper into our most honest expression.
At Paint FEARLESS®, space is limited to 9 artists so you can expect loads of one-on-one guidance, support, and an intimate peek into my own creative process to inspire and uplift you.
All levels of experience and skill levels are welcome and celebrated, but having at least one to two years of painting under your apron is highly recommended.

















LODGING & STUDIO INCLUDED
We will be staying and FEARLESS® Painting in a private estate only blocks away from the bustling city square called the Zocolo.
We will be walking distance to everything, including fabulous restaurants, galleries, museums and shops.
Each room comes with a single bed and a private bathroom. The studio is located right outside your room — you can roll out of bed and paint in your pj’s!

Here’s what past FEARLESS® Painters Had To Say






When I first stepped foot in Oaxaca City in 2017...
I felt like I landed straight in one of my paintings . The bright colors, delicious grittiness, bold traditional patterns, and the overall creative vibe that makes Oaxaca so unique had my heart at “Hola”. From that point-on I have been visiting Oaxaca bi-annually to paint, explore, and share my great love affair with over 100 artists in my Paint FEARLESS® Mexico retreats.
If you are looking to spice up your creative practice, nourish your Artist Soul, learn about Oaxacan culture, and immerse yourself in a week of painting, painting, painting — then I invite you to join me at Paint FEARLESS® Mexico: Mythos & Magic taking place January 8-14, 2024. This will be my 16th retreat I'm teaching in Oaxaca, Mexico. Yeah — I'm seriously in love.
Feel free to REACH OUT HERE if you have any questions.
