Art Retreat 2025
'Painting an enchanted landscape' with Matthew Berry 16th August – 23rd August 2025
This will be Matthew's third visit to Casa Carolina as Guest Artist with Art Holidays Romania. Following on from the impressions left on him by the landscape of Lapus Country in 2018, he has described the scenery as "enchanted". This is also a reference to William Blacker's wonderful book about his trip to Maramures and Romania, 'Along the Enchanted Way’ which we warmly recommend as pre travel reading.
