2024-25 Art Retreats with Roxanne Evans Stout

 Hello you dear friends and artists! May this note find you surrounded by beauty. I am enjoying the present moment and the gifts of nature while also planning my schedule for next year. I have workshops coming up that I am so excited to share with you! Even wilted flowers are beautiful…

About next year… I am only doing three in-person workshop/retreats next year. I chose them very carefully because I love small village or country settings where we can be immersed in our surroundings. My workshops are so much more than art retreats — they are a beautiful combination of art and culture, lovely hosts, unique experiences, and gorgeous venues and surroundings, in addition to incredible art projects and mixed media lessons to nurture your soul.

The perfect balance

I love to spend time at home between traveling, to refuel and renew myself as an artist and teacher. Some of my best ideas come to me when I am out in my garden under the Maple tree! So I have a lovely balance for next year, but spaces are limited, so register now.


Santa Fe 2024

Won’t you join us for… Collage Journeys in Santa Fe?!

It’s my newest listing, and I am so excited about teaching in New Mexico again! We have only just announced this one! I would love for you to join us for Collage Journeys at Jen Tough Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, April 8-12, 2024.

Santa Fe

Create unique twists on mixed media projects In Collage Journeys! During our five magical days together in Santa Fe, we will immerse ourselves in the inspiration of the amazing land around us. We’ll collage, paint, assemble, stitch, attach, make marks, create symbols, source found objects, and more.

In Collage Journeys, we will experiment to create unique landscapes, abstract collages, and other mixed media projects. All of our creations will be held together between old book covers and will be able to be displayed in different ways. Take home beautiful art and fresh creativity! Get all of the details and register here for Collage Journeys while we still have room!
