I have been teaching both digital photography and landscape painting courses and workshops in Italy since 2000. I first discovered Santu Lussurgiu and the Montiferru area of Sardinia in 2002, while I was still living and teaching art in Florence, Italy. I found the Montiferru landscape was such perfect place to photograph and paint that Angela and I bought a home here so we could return between semesters and all the summer. I moved to Santu Lussurgiu full-time in 2005 so I could take pictures of and paint the landscape of Sardinia all the time, in all seasons. My love of this landscape, the culture, and its people are so strong that I must, as an artist, live here in Sardinia. I believe my affection for this place also makes a difference in my workshops. I know the land, its nuances, the effect of seasonal changes on it, as well as both the secret and the not so secret locations for painting or photographing this unique area.

You will also find a link to Iron Mountain Studio, a stone house built in 1784, that is an artist studio retreat space available for artists, photographers, and writers to rent for periods from one week to one month or even longer in Santu Lussurgiu.
