We are so excited to introduce to you the guest artist for our ladies art retreat this November! From November 11-14th, we’ll be gathering in the Pigeon Forge area for a time of creativity, encouragement, and Christmas celebration. Our goal is to connect, encourage, and invigorate YOU through much-needed creative play and expression and fellowship. Our desire is to give you the opportunity to refuel and refresh before the holiday rush begins! Without further ado…

 

Meet our guest artist Camille Spires!

     Camille has been teaching art for over 30 years and loves assisting people to find their own unique style. From pastels to oils and watercolor to acrylics, graphic design to photography and more, Camille works with and teaches using a variety of mediums. Throughout her career and now as owner/teacher with Art Studio of the Smokies, she’s taught in a variety of venues including public schools, coops, retreats, and for various groups. In addition, she is a member of the Great Smoky Mountain Arts and Crafts Community.

     Each time we talk, we come away brimming with creative ideas and we are so excited Camille will be joining us to teach two of our classes during the retreat.
