FREE Registration for Morning Book & Art Conversation Session with Ellie Harold
02/21/2026 10am-12pm

Monet, Mitchell & Me: A Painter's Pilgrimage (2023), chronicles her journey to France to resolve a creative block.

Session Highlights

The Inspiration: The journey began in October 2022, when Ellie traveled to Paris to see a dual exhibition of Claude Monet and Joan Mitchell.

The Pilgrimage: She and her husband, Roo Davison, followed the River Seine to towns like Giverny, Vétheuil, and Honfleur—locations where these "Art World Giants" lived and worked.

The Creative Process: The session explores the "inner life of a forever-emerging artist" and how this pilgrimage helped her navigate a significant creative standstill.
