Join the wonderfully talented artist, Laura Harris, for a heavenly week of creative, cultural, and epicurean experiences in Lucca, Italy. Our home base will be at a beautiful, 17th Century estate, set amongst the hills and olive groves of Northern Tuscany. Lucca is known as the hidden gem of Tuscany with city walls that keep out most of the cars, it has a notable, chilled-out vibe with a palette of warm yellows, rich turquoise, and deep emeralds – the perfect, inspiring backdrop for our creative getaway. We’ll throw some paint around, lounge amongst olive trees and grapevines, gather and share, explore treasured places, and oh my, we’ll eat!
We are thrilled to be working with our dear friend – the incomparable, most generous, and lovely Rosanna Passione. Rosanna lives and thrives in Tuscany and her energy and passion for authentic, yet modern Italian cooking are infectious. We have worked together before and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
Inspired, connected, generous and intuitive, Laura Harris has motivated countless people to rewrite their stories and honour their creative calling. Offered to beginners and non-beginners alike, Laura will share her unique approach to painting, with a focus on manifesting inspiration and personal expression.
The Laura Harris Painting Retreat in Tuscany includes 7 nights accommodation, 4 days with painting instruction, nearby excursions, culinary experiences with Rosanna, many meals, transfers, and painting supplies.

With a long list of successful exhibits that span 20 years and collectors worldwide, Laura’s paintings are described as beautifully imperfect. Often large in scale with strikingly bold colours and texture, each piece offers discovery. Her process is rooted in memory and imagination, and her emotions are palpable. When she’s at work, Harris becomes utterly engrossed in her practice. It’s a fully physical task with music turned up loud and paint flying. Laura applies the same love and abandon to all other areas of her life.
