OPEN CREATIVE

The Open creative Week is a session designed for any artist at any level in any medium at any level. It is ideal for the artist who doesn't want structured time or instruction but would benefit from having time to work , enjoy the experience, and meet other artists at Nimrod Hall.  Perfect for the very beginner who is looking for time to learn on their own or the accomplished or professional artist who is in a place where they need time to work but on their own.

. You do not have to be a visual artist  but can be a photographer, a writer, a poet or any number of creative endeavors.

A studio is important if you require quiet, so rent one if that is the case, but most all of Nimrod is a serene environment . Artists of all kids including painting, drawing, writing, photography, encaustic, any mixed media, photography, poetry and any other creative endeavor you can imagine.

You will have the option to sign up for a wait list online if the week is closed. We will contact you if that happens. Consider a week with openings if you need a firmer date in your calendar!

9 private studio’s are available for an extra fee of $175. They will be rented on a first come basis and will need to be rented when you register, or on arrival if available.

Sara Linda Poly

Oil Painting

All levels are welcome but for Sara as your teacher, this is not good for true beginners.

Presently she is a member of the Washington Society of Landscape Painters and the Oil Painters of America. Sara is shown in galleries all over the world and has won numerous prizes for her artwork.

Very comfortable with Nimrod, Sara is a great choice for any level of artist. Sara lives and works in Easton, MD., and has been a fixture with us at Nimrod for over a decade. Saras workshop is competitive to attend so have a second choice option is the best advice!

Laura Loe

Advanced Oil Painting

This is a class that is not for beginners or even for the occasional painter, but for people who are prolific and comfortable with painting currently. Once you register I will need to approve your application to make sure you are in a place where this workshop can help. I have had some great artists come to this class who are not ready experience wise for this kind of approach and it is not good for me or that artist.

If you are not an experienced oil painter you can still come as an open retreat creative and enjoy Nimrod, but sign up for the Open Week.

This week is for the advanced artist who is looking for guidance on finding and refining their own voice. This is not a week for the beginner artist or one who expects technical help as there will not be formal critiques and formal lessons. This week is aimed at those who work hard, expect themselves to work all day, have an open mind to feed off the other artists in the group with their main goal is getting much needed time to work. My strong suit is in giving you another set of eyes and helping you with my experience. . Laura has been a professional oil painter since 1996, taught at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Studio School for over a decade, shown in numerous galleries and shows andhas won many awards for oil paintings. Chosen as a Woman in the Arts award recipient in Richmond, VA. Laura's work can be found in many corporate and private collections.  The right artist for this workshop wants to grow and get work done this week, but does not need basic or even intermediate technical help.

Laura Loe is the Owner/Director of Nimrod Hall. She has been the Director of Nimrod Hall Artists since  1997 and purchased the property in 2013 to continue the longstanding tradition of providing such an inspirational and amazing place to create. She he has been a professional oil painter since 1996.
