Join artists and gallery owners Marissa Vogl and Laurie Meyer of Meyer Vogl Gallery for a relaxed, 5-day plein air painting retreat. Imagine spending your days surrounded by Montana’s canopy of pine trees, wide-open views, and vast skies while you slow down to immerse yourself in your plein air painting practice alongside fellow creatives.
This is an invitation to step away from the interruptions of modern technology and noise to gift yourself time to observe, paint, and share what you know and have learned under the guidance of Laurie and Marissa. You will also have the time and opportunity to reset your mind and body with yoga, gentle hiking, and warm conversations. We will nourish our bodies with wholesome, fresh meals made with love.
Our hope is that you leave The Feathered Pipe Ranch feeling creatively inspired and nurtured in your art practice. We invite both beginner and experienced painters who have a desire to paint outdoors in the open air.
