“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live.”
― Hans Christian Andersen

Baja California Painting and Photo Expedition
Spring May 2 to 9, 2023
Sold Out...contact Ellen Parry for the wait list.
The Cataviña Ecosystem, Cave Paintings, and the Gulf of California
This adventure will be a once in a lifetime exploration. I'm very excited to offer this trip along with Photographer Eileen Mandell, Ellen Parry, Director of Baja Rancho Art, and Raul and Caroline Aguilar, owners of Rancho Bellota.
We will spend time exploring and painting on location, hiking, and winding down at our hotel for merry drinks, great food, and excellent conversations. You will be picked up at the Tecate border for ease of travel. No worries about driving. Raul will guide us thoughtfully through the wondrous terrain.
The botanically rich Cataviña ecosystem includes incredible boulder fields and indigenous flora – gigantic Cardon Cactus (Pachycereus pringlei), Boojum (Cirios), Mexican Blue Palms (Blue Hesper Palms), and Elephant trees (Bursera microphylla) – are just a few of the species we’ll capture in photos and artwork. We will spend 1½ days hiking and exploring the creative possibilities of this area before traveling further south to the magnificent Cave Paintings in San Francisco de la Sierra and the Mission town of San Ignacio.
the mission has been in continual use since it was founded in 1728 and sits on a charming plaza in the center of this small town. We’ll have time to stroll the town and capture its spirit in our art. Then we’ll head north to the breathtaking Gulf of California, spending a night at Gonzaga Bay before heading to San Felipe and Ojos Negros for artisanal cheese tasting. We will spend our final night relaxing at Rancho La Bellota, then cross north at the Tecate border, avoiding the crowds and traffic of Tijuana.

This is an all inclusive retreat in beautiful Guadalupe Valley
in Baja, Mexico.
The 2,800 acre ranch sits in an oak lined valley just north of Baja’s scenic “Ruta del Vino” between
Tecate and Ensenada, approximately 1½ hours south of the border.
It is a working ranch, as you would have found in Baja California over 100 years ago.
Oaks and sycamore trees, seasonal creeks and springs, rugged hillsides, boulders and
local wineries provide inspiration for painting, sketching, and photography.

Hello, Helen! Will not be able to do Mexico this year, but I see you'll be in PHX for Art Unraveled, so I will probably catch you there!
