Meet some of the artists who have found inspiration from their visit to Oliva and their stay at Casa Posidonia…
Trisha Adams: "I loved staying at Casa Posidonia. The house was nicely renovated with wifi and air conditioning. One can walk all over town -- to the market, to restaurants and to the art supply store. The people were friendly and many spoke English. I painted five paintings during my two-week residency -- two were from Piles Beach, two were from the nearby town of Gandia and The Gardener's House in Oliva. There was plenty of subject matter I didn't get to. Maybe next time!"
Mary Mindiola: "Going to Oliva, Spain was an amazing experience, personal and professionally. Getting to live for two weeks in a small town and experiencing first hand how life is tranquil and slow paced is to recharge your soul. You can work on art at your own pace and in a peaceful, safe and very sunny environment. People are very friendly in Spain and the wine is the best! I went with my husband and also took some days after to travel around Valencia, Murcia and Andalucía to see more towns and castles. I came back recharged with tones of inspiration pictures, memories and plans for more work to be created . Thank you Beth and Chris for this great experience."
Lisa Van Meter: "Thank you so very much for the opportunity to stay in Oliva at Casa Posidonia! Spain exceeded our expectations. As an artist, I was hit with boundless inspiration! The light, the endless stunning views!"
