Painting outdoors with other artists is one of my favourite ways to experience nature and continue growing as an artist.

In April of 2024, I started the Vancouver En Plein Air Painters Meetup, brining together artists of all experience levels to paint in some of the Lower Mainland’s most beautiful parks, gardens, beaches, and natural areas. Our welcoming group enjoys sharing ideas, encouraging one another, and celebrating the joy of painting directly from life.

If you live in the Greater Vancouver area and would like to paint with us, I’d love to have you join us. To learn more or join an upcoming event, search for “Vancouver En Plein Air Painters” online or on the Meetup platform.

Follow my blog for photos of our recent painting outings and the beautiful places we have explored together.
