Seana Mallen, an award-winning Californian artist, met a Yorkshireman in Hong Kong in the '80's, fell in love with him...

and then fell in love with England and the glorious English landscape...

and she's has been here more or less ever since.

 

She feels so lucky to have a studio in the friendly creative community of Stanmer Craft Museum, set in beautiful Stanmer Park, where the bluebells, the forest and the South Downs are a constant inspiration.

As well as painting, she has been inspiring and encouraging people to explore their creativity through art for many years. Seana is passionate about helping others find their own artistic voice and has a deep understanding of the value of art in our lives. She is an incredible teacher and mentor, and her enthusiasm for her craft is contagious.

The studio is in my new house, with beautiful views up the river towards Lancing College. (and I know that lots of people go to Artists Open houses more to see the houses than the artwork... You are very welcome either way!)

Art Retreats at One Garden Brighton

Imagine a day that begins with an invitation to wander...

in woods and gardens, and in your own imagination.

Connect with nature, breathe deep, and then paint and learn new techniques to express yourself, completely immersed in the creative process in this beautiful setting.

 

One Garden Brighton is the fabulous new garden, restaurant, cafe and garden centre, right next door to my studio in Stanmer Park.

I'm so happy to be running a series of workshops there this spring and summer.

 

I will guide you and nurture your creative spirit.

We'll enjoy a delicious lunch, prepared with locally sourced ingredients from the One Garden Kitchen, as well as a taste of Plumpton's fine wine!) (so you'll have lots of energy to keep creating!)

 

You'll have time to soak up the aromas and colours of the garden before the afternoon's painting session where you'll complete your work and sit back and admire your work, feeling rejuvenated and inspired.

 

Absolutely no experience necessary.

£90 includes all materials and lunch at the One Garden Kitchen

July 4: Botanical Gelli-Printing

August 3. Watercolour Magic. (Fully Booked)

A Brush with Bacchus:

Painting and Wine Tasting at One Garden Brighton

You will learn new techniques to express yourself (not copy someone else's painting!) And a few sips will help quiet that pesky inner critic, open your artist's eye and let your creative juices flow.

 

All materials are provided and all abilities are welcome.

Absolutely no experience necessary. Limited to 12 tasters and painters.
