SFAG: The Origin Story

Departing Omaha

Five years ago today, I did something utterly exhilarating. I wrestled a rental truck, packed to the brim with canvases, and the tangled threads of my life, onto a bumpy New Mexico road.

I wasn't just unpacking art; I was unpacking a new beginning. And with a confident breath, I opened the doors of Santa Fe Artist Getaway.

People asked... heck even I asked… "Are you sure?"

Honestly, I trusted I had everything needed right here – a creative place, inspirational setting, and amazing collaborations with master teaching artists.

Now, artists from around the globe come to unlock something within themselves. That was always the dream, you see. To offer a sanctuary where anyone could dare to lean into their creativity and truly grow.

And here's the secret: It's worked for me too. I'm making the art I was always meant to create, pieces that pulse with the energy of this life.

Now, let's talk about your creative leap.

As an abstract artist, I know that the most powerful work comes from letting go of control. It's about trusting the process, embracing the unexpected. Just like that rental truck, your life is a canvas waiting to be filled.

Welcome to my favorite place in the whole wide world. I hope it inspires you to find yours, too. - Bev
