My retreats are designed to inspire and lift artists up with gratitude for their craft. I believe that there is not enough positive energy & artist support in the industry and I strive to change that.

Embark on a transformative journey that will redefine your artistic vision in a supportive environment by promoting art, well being, and a higher vibration.

Twenty years ago, I wanted to create a space that wasn’t available to me as a growing artist. My dream was to create a community with a higher vibration. With the mantra "Be the change you wish to see" echoing in my heart, I outlined a retreat plan that would serve as a space for introspection and transformation. Fast forward to today, and I am humbled to have curated retreat experiences over two decades, spanning the globe, each one a beacon of inspiration and personal evolution.

If you think you can’t afford it, you can’t afford not to. Investing in yourself is not a luxury; it is a necessity. It is a commitment to your growth, your success, and your future. You will never regret investing in yourself, but you will regret the opportunities missed to do so.

Who Attends? Artists of all levels. My Makeup Retreat welcomes artists of all levels, from beginners to seasoned pros. I believe that everyone has something to offer and can benefit from each other's unique perspectives. Experience level doesn’t matter because everyone is on their own journey but you do have to either be invited to register, get a referral from one of my previous attendees/colleagues, or have an online interview with me.

"The retreat changed my career trajectory and I'm making more money. I can't wait for your next one!"

My Retreat is not a class. It consists of inspirational and creative activities that are a one size fits all. In our group discussions, beginners often give a fresh perspective to pros, and both benefit from each other. So whether you're just starting out or have been creating for years, I invite you to join our diverse community of artists. Wherever you are in your career journey, you will be a great addition.

“I can't believe I hesitated to register. My portfolio and confidence got a serious upgrade and I just booked my first big photoshoot. I can not recommend you enough. The people who go to your retreats are also the most welcoming and supportive artists. Not like anything you normally see in in this industry. You have created a space that didn't exist. Thank you!!!"

Self-Care for Artists. In the fast-paced world of makeup artistry, it's easy to get caught up in the daily grind, constantly striving to meet the demands of your clients. But what about taking care of yourself? It's crucial for makeup artists to take time for self-care and recharge which leads to better work performance and client satisfaction. My retreat offers you the perfect opportunity to do just that.

Dealing with the second-hand trauma that comes with our profession makes self-care an integral part of our job. Working closely with clients and hearing their stories can sometimes leave a lasting impact on our emotional well-being. My retreat provides a safe and supportive environment where you can share your experiences, learn coping mechanisms, and heal together with fellow professionals who truly understand.

Artistic Growth. Get ready to take your artistry to new heights and unlock your creativity. My retreats offer an unparalleled opportunity for artists like you to push boundaries, break free from convention, and embrace a whole new level of artistic excellence. Each retreat is carefully curated to ignite your imagination and challenge your comfort zone. Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey that will redefine your artistic vision?

A Higher Vibration. Surrounding yourself with colleagues who share your passion and drive can be incredibly inspiring. The power of collaboration and networking in the makeup industry cannot be overstated. By joining my retreat, you'll have the chance to connect with other talented artists, exchange ideas, and form lifelong friendships that will continue to support and uplift you long after the retreat is over. Each person makes an impact on the experience. Having the right group of people makes the experience what it is.

Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to invest in yourself and your career. Embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, growth, and inspiration. Space is limited, so secure your spot today and get ready to elevate your artistry to new heights. Together, let's create beauty, empower one another, and make a lasting impact in the world of makeup artistry!

Berlin, Germany

July 29 - August 2, 2024

The beauty industry and the art world have always been intertwined, both inspiring each other for centuries. Get ready to be inspired by the iconic Bauhaus Movement and the graffiti artists of Berlin. We will immerse ourselves in the rich art history of Berlin and explore how it’s shaped the world of modern art as we know it.

I credit the Bauhaus Movement for a lot of my inspiration over the years. If you look at my portfolio you can see the strong influence. I am excited to share this experience with you!
