If you follow us on social media, you know we’ve just gotten back from an artist retreat on Lake Como. It was an amazing time! We were generously hosted by Amore Escapes and the majestic GrandHotel Imperiale! Our days were filled with painting, yoga, sight-seeing and, most importantly, time together.
JNA artists from around the the world gathered, Rae came from Minneapolis, Janna from Hamburg, Miriam from the Netherlands and our newest artist, Malin, from Stockholm.
We were in the town of Moltrasio perched right over a waterfall that pours into Lake Como. Below, you can see work-in-progress from the artists as well as some scenes from the village.
A highlight of the trip was a lake tour with our kind captain, Giacomo. The lake is lined with fabulous grand old (and a few new) homes. Some of which belong to George Clooney and Richard Branson… one property even boasts scenes from Star Wars and James Bond movies. This place is like a dream.
Below are a few more shots and more art. The work is as stunning as the place!

This is a trip I won’t ever forget! Stay tuned to see what we do next year! - Jennifer
