<i>From Jewel....</i></div>
<br />
This will be my 8th tour and I am not exaggerating when I say they keep getting better and better! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I first traveled to Mexico & Guatemala in 1979 on a
wanderlust/walkabout during my college years. Since then I've
concentrated my travels on the Yucatan Peninsula, Chiapas, & Oaxaca
and leading tours to Oaxaca since 2011. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like gathering together and
traveling with packs of inquisitive and engaged, creative people. I
like putting our tourist dollars directly into the hands of local
people. I like taking it slow. And I like to eat good food. I like
seeing what happens when people from different parts of the world
encounter one another. I like building a bridge between my country and
our neighbors to the south. When I'm not otherwise obsessed with all
things Mexico, I can be found watering plants, bird watching, swimming
and making art in Eugene, Oregon. </div>

<b>Workshop Agenda:</b><br />
Classes take place in a lovely private studio with an adjacent garden away from other guests. Each day begins after breakfast at the casa with hands-on sessions in the morning.

All projects will incorporate our travel experiences so that your artwork will reflect your wonderful time in Oaxaca.<br />
