What past students are saying about il Chiostro....

        I would do it again!

The beauty and quite stands out in my mind. Everywhere you look is beautiful. No noise pollution. Nothing but birds chirping or the wind blowing through the trees.  Perfect for painting. It was also the best group of women I have ever encountered… I always encourage artists to go on a retreat like this.    
I would do it again!

A wonderous, once-in-a-lifetime experience!

   Painting in Italy with Karen and the
il Chiostro staff was a grand adventure because the sense of place was so very magical, and Karen and her students were so much fun to paint and travel with, it was a wondrous, once-in-a-lifetime experience for which I will be forever grateful.

              An art adventure to treasure!

I smile with joy when I think about the wonderful art-filled, learning experiences we had with you as our teacher and as our friend.  I look forward to another trip with you as our talented, thoughtful and totally delightful leader!  Our group has formed a special bond that has inspired creativity and lasting friendship. Thank you!  I recommend Linda, Michael and the entire il Chiostro experience as an art adventure to treasure!
