Meet your host
Francisca Nunes
Francisca makes art with plants, paper, and fabric from her studio in Portugal. She started this Fest because she wanted a summer full of nature, creativity, and real connection.
This year the theme is Roots & Wings. She opens Day 1 and closes Day 20. And in between, she invited 9 artists who each bring something completely different to the table.
Roots, because everything we make comes from somewhere. Wings, because making art is also about letting go. Together we are building a celebration of mixed media and nature, one class at a time.

Rooted in Bloom
A lifelong maker who found healing in her own journal and built studio spaces where others could do the same. A self-proclaimed art cheerleader who believes art is your truest act of self love.
Taking Root, Taking Flight
Known as Words and Pictures. Her work grew from a career in theatre into watercolour, mixed media, and collage. Nature, storytelling, and the colours of the seasons are at the heart of everything she makes.
Joyful Paper Blooms
Cindy, is a mixed media artist with a love for art journals, bright colours, quirky design, and anything vintage. She believes creative play is a gift you give yourself. She spreads joy with her art, and her quirky style extends well beyond the studio.

Inspirational card deck
An artist from the Netherlands inspired by nature every single day. She works in painting and art journaling, drawn to florals, birds, colour, and the beauty of imperfection. Her journal is a daily practice, a place to observe, process, and keep her heart happy.
Blooming Pages
Flower Zine Book
A visual artist whose work explores emotion, nature, and the inner world. Her paintings are atmospheric and explorative, an ongoing dialogue between what is felt and what seeks expression.
Chasing Blue
A botanical artist and mojo maker from the Alberta prairies. She works in eco-printing, cyanotype, and encaustic wax, blending flowers, berries, and thread into dreamlike pieces rooted in nature.
Wildflowers With an Attitude
