What can 17 talented and inspiring women coming together for art achieve in a week? More than anything they could have ever imagined. Ohn Mar Win<\/a> and Victoria Johnson<\/a>‘s Creative Fruit and Flowers Art Retreat<\/a> at Oliveto Estate<\/a> just ended, and the buzz from their excitement is still ringing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe retreat exceeded my expectations. The art, the community, the amazing teachers, the inclusive and welcoming community, the food, the venue, the location\u2026 I could go on and on. Everything was perfect and this was an experience I will remember my whole life.\u201d  \u2014  Carla Balen<\/a><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
As so many participants expressed, it was a life-changing journey that sparked their transformation into more confident, expressive, and fulfilled artists. One of the things that prompted this transformation was the heartfelt community they created. The artists encouraged and supported each other throughout the retreat. @rebsville<\/a> said: “you enter the room full of 16 other artists on that first day and it\u2019s daunting! But as the week progresses\u2026 all of them add some magic to the retreat mixing pot. I\u2019ve really connected with some incredible new friends, been influenced by their methods and art practice, learned so much from them sharing their life experiences”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
