This immersive experience invites you to connect deeply with your emotions while discovering your own artistic rhythm. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, you’ll leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and connected to your creative flow with abstract paintings that are uniquely yours.

In this expressive painting workshop with Melissa Benedek, you’ll explore color, texture, and movement with your brush in a relaxed, creative setting. Each session invites you to loosen up, trust your instincts, and let your painting unfold naturally through play and exploration. Expect lively conversation, shared inspiration, and plenty of time to get lost in the creative flow.

Melissa Benedek is a New York based contemporary artist known for her intuitive, abstract expressionist paintings. Immersed in the city’s art scene from a young age, she studied at the Art Students League and Parsons School of Design. After a successful career in jewelry design, Melissa now focuses fully on her art, creating vibrant, fluid compositions that explore color and movement. Her work has been featured in publications, private commissions including one for an ABC News anchor—and shown in galleries and art fairs such as the Hamptons Fine Art Fair.
