I painted a PIG in Stamford, Connecticut
WORKSHOPS - SHOWS - RETREATS
Embark on a 'make-your-own-happy' journey with me at in-person workshops and retreats.
The 2025 events are filling up!
At every skill level, from true beginner and on, we will paint together, laugh and even create more than art...new friendships!
AUGUST 3rd - 8th, 2025
Join me in Glastonbury, CT at The Connecticut River Valley Inn for a week's long retreat!
From total beginners to those who might already have experience creating, I will strive to make us all walk away smiling, and filled with our own brand of happiness; not to mention a few pieces of artwork and some new skills to create more in the future.
AND SO MUCH FUN!
Take a look at the photo slide below of this gorgeous Bed and Breakfast. We'll eat plant-based meals, paint, relax in nature, laugh and create not only art, but lasting memories!
Art from my Soul...seeking a connection to yours.
PAINT with ME!
Because art isn’t just about paint on a canvas.
It’s about the stories we tell, the moments we share, and the way we allow ourselves to feel—fully and freely.
I'm a SULLIVAN CATSKILLS DOVE TRAIL artist! #62
ARTHUR'S ACRES ANIMAL SANCTUARY DOVE
In 2019, Sullivan County launched the Dovetrail in New York's Catskills Region, paying homage to the original 1969 Woodstock Festival while inviting tourists to discover the community.
Local New York artists, drawing inspiration from Peter Max and the Woodstock Festival's spirit, paint doves to this initiative.
This one marks the 62nd dove in the region, dedicated to Arthur's Acres Animal Sanctuary, featuring my design adorned with their motto, 'Peace, Love & Pigs.' The dove showcases heart-shaped pig snouts and my signature heart art.
Arthur's Acres Animal Sanctuary, located in Parksville, NY, provides a loving home to over 40 pigs, chickens, and dogs, radiating compassion and care.
I'm deeply honored to be a part of this historic event, spreading a message of kindness and awareness for the sanctuary.
Visit this dove and others across the region, snap a photo, share, and tag me!

Allison Luci, aka, Allie for the Soul
My art, as my life, is a work in progress, always evolving...
The eternal optimist in me always sees the bright side. My mantra is "No Mud, No Lotus", which is the title of Buddhist teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh's book, that teaches the art of transforming suffering and seeing the beauty.
The key is to recognize joy and find happiness in everyday moments, even when things aren't always the brightest.
That's what I try to do in life and through my art. Most especially with my animal art.
I always want to show the light, hope and love that we can find in everyday moments.
Without the mud, we would never have the beautiful lotus flower.
Without the darkness, we wouldn't know light.
Find the light each day.
I hope you find the light in my art. (Along with lots of color and a side of whimsy!)
Peace and love.
