Murals infused with heart.
Paint the World With Me: Creative Retreats With Heart
Join me for artistic heartfelt adventures. Refresh your inspiration. Fill your soul. Learn from culture. Feel good giving back.
Experience, education, and inspiration are at the heart of my travels. As a lifelong nomad and passionate artist, I’ve fused my two deepest callings—art and exploration—into immersive mural retreats designed for creatives like you.
These journeys are more than just travel. They’re about creating meaningful art that leaves a lasting impact, often in collaboration with nonprofits to bring murals to life in communities around the globe. During my first large-scale international mural project, something profound shifted in me. I knew I had to share that feeling—the connection, the purpose, the spark—with others.
Let me host you on a transformative mural adventure. You’ll gain hands-on experience, sharpen your skills (or learn new ones), and forge deep bonds with fellow creatives. More than that, you’ll see culture through a lens only accessible to those who create within it.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, this journey is crafted to meet you where you are—and take you even further.

The Mural Project:
We’ll be painting a mural at a local orphanage, home primarily to older children. One of the most impactful days will involve inviting the kids to participate—offering them encouragement, creative connection, and the joy of self-expression. This isn’t just art on a wall—it’s art that touches lives. Fun bonus: the orphanage is close to two cenotes, beautiful swimming holes in the middle of the jungle. A perfect spot to cool off on a break!
