I can hardly believe it’s almost May! My flower gardens are just starting to bloom, and I’ve been painting in my studio with the doors wide open. I hope you’re enjoying the beautiful weather too.

I’ve been working on all sorts of new paintings in my studio at once (there’s a video sneak peek below). This really helps me stay in the flow.

My recent paintings all begin with spring color inspiration. Whether it’s the turquoise sky or the bright magenta tullips, my work begins and ends with color.

I keep adding layers until they transform into a radiance that reminds me of flower petals before the rain—a moment of calm that guides my heart to peace. It’s uplifting to gather inspiration from nature and see where it leads me in my paintings.

I’m so thrilled to share that you can now view my paintings in person in San Diego! I’m now represented by Adelman Fine Art. 

If you’re in the area, definitely stop by and say hello. My first fourteen paintings have arrived, and I wanted to share a little sneak peek with you.

If you missed my last note, I’m also teaching a painting retreat in Tuscany, May 2027.

No art experience is necessary!

If you’d like to join me and paint and play together in ITALY, you can find all the details right here. Please note, the retreat is limited to 16 participants, and there are 10 spots still available.

Thank you to everyone that has signed up so far, I can’t wait to paint together and develop friendships, and really nourish our creative spirits!

If you have any questions, reach out directly to Uptrek. They’ll be your personal concierge to help plan your trip and take care of every single detail for an amazing time.

I’m so excited to share this magical experience with you!

Happy painting!

P.S. To see the recap of my previous retreat in France, check out this video below to get an idea of what all of the excitement is about!

I also always find it super helpful to hear from others about their experiences, especially since creativity can be so healing, soothing, and calming, so I’m including some reflections from my France retreat guests:

“This trip has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, Juliette created a space that was warm, open, and deeply nurturing… I found myself inspired, experimenting freely, and falling in love with the journey of self-expression.”— Evie G.
