My Giant Strawberry is an invitation to pay attention to everyday glimmers of magic in every season.
It’s a nudge to grab your art supplies and create without fear
Hi, I’m Anne Butera
I loved making art when I was a child, but as I grew up I “learned” I wasn’t good at it.
As an adult I felt something was missing from my life and set out to reclaim my creativity.
I taught myself how to paint, but I also followed the lead of my kindergarten self and began to believe, again, in the giant strawberries she was able to effortlessly conjure.
Join me next year in Portugal and let’s make art together
Mark your calendar for May 28-June 1 2026 and treat yourself to four days of slow, intentional creativity nestled in the peaceful Monsaraz countryside.
I’ll guide you as we notice joy in the small things and help you to reconnect with your creativity as we relax, unplug and savor the beauty of rural Portugal.
Accommodation, meals, yoga and excursions included.
