Inspirational Art & Travel - Portugal Gigi Renee Designs

Sometimes, you simply need to visit a place that sparks your creativity. A location where the beauty, culture, and cuisine inspire you. Lisbon and Sintra are perfect examples with their lively historic cityscapes and coastal vistas inspire and fill the heart with joy.

Walking beside the Tagus River, exploring the flea market in the old town where locals sell antiques, historical items, and quirky treasures. Stopping by a café for coffee and the renowned Portuguese tart, spending half the day people watching people.  My creative inspiration is gaining momentum with all the incredible sights and sounds around me.

It's time to get busy creating and put to all that inspiration to good use. I'm excited about learning some new techniques to add to my repertoire. A ten day intensive course with world renowned Eco printer Irit Dulman in the beautiful mountain seaside town of Sintra Portugal should do the trick.

And finally, meeting fascinating people from all over the world, listening to their stories, and observing their unique design styles was incredible. I hope to encounter them again somewhere across the globe. In the meantime, I'll bring this new experience home to share with all of you!
