created Retreats
Become who you were created to be
The truest version of ourself forms and grows slowly, layer upon layer. All young children delight in painting, drawing…creating. But somewhere between early childhood and adulthood, most of us are seperated from the creativity that has been inside of us since the very beginning. Reconnecting to our innate creativity heals us, shapes us and empowers us. CREATED retreats are an opportunity to recenter and grow into the person you were created to be…all while learning something new, in a beautiful environment, surrounded by community just like you.
About
Kimberly Saltiel is a contemporary impressionist artist and teacher living in the Pacific Northwest. Artistically, her passion is to capture nature in a way that inspires people and reminds us of a deeper good. Her journey began at the age of 16, when a move from Washington state to Paris, France wove together a love of nature and exposure to beautiful art. Kim has a masters degree in Art History as well as training at the National Academy of Fine Arts in New York, The New York Botanical Gardens as well as Gage Academy in Seattle. After 24 years of living in artistic mecca’s such as Paris and New York, Kim returned to her childhood home here in Washington. Now, in addition to her own works, Saltiel runs and operates creative retreats where supportive instruction combined with the natural beauty of Washington State leaves participants feeling uplifted and confident.
Kim’s paintings have been featured in several solo exhibits, including an exhibit of 52 works at The Washington Center for Performing Arts. Her paintings are found in collections throughout the US and France.
