Lake Haven Atelier and Art Rretreat
Atelier (Ah-tell-yeah): a workshop or studio focused on the classic tradition of the mentor-student training in the art of picture making. The term is used today to describe the burgeoning number of teaching environments dedicated to the classical drawing and painting techniques of European and American artists in the 19th century. Perrin honed her skills based on the background of a graduate Master’s degree in Art as Applied to Medicine at The Johns Hopkins Medical School and 27 years as a medical artist specializing in surgical illustration. LAKE HAVEN embodies her life long dream of creating a painting and printmaking studio where she and visiting artists can explore together their creative passions. Our home and studio is situated on Village Bay Lake, one of a chain of lakes in Main Lake Provincial Park, on Quadra Island, British Columbia. Quadra is a small (25 mile long, 5 mile wide) island situated between Vancouver Island and the mainland of British Columbia, on the west coast of Canada. Larry and Perri welcome artists and friends who want to come to our beautiful, remote sanctuary to stay or study or perhaps even just relax in a creative environment unique to the Pacific Northwest Discovery Islands
