A glorious week of painting, authentic Scandinavian cuisine and relaxation in the rustic Danish countryside. Though, it wasn't painting all week. We took a day and went into Copenhagen to explore!

New friends

We even had a birthday celebration during our retreat week. We celebrated by singing Happy Birthday in both Danish and English!

Girls just wanna have fun! And at Art Escape Studios, it's all about fun, laughter and of course, painting!

Our Food- Inspried by traditional Danish cuisine

Our Chef extraodinaire!

Let me introduce Neil Cameron! A lovable Scottish Chef working and living in Denmark. With a spectacular CV, we were more than lucky to get Neil for a full week! He provided us with a smile everyday, a song or two in the morning or around the camp fire, and the most delicious food for an entire week. Everything made that week was made solely by Neil. We could not have been happier or had fuller bellies! :) A big THANKS to Neil for making Art Escape that much better.
