Sarah hosted two amazing events for our group through Abstract Adventure’s Impact Adventure Collab Program and it truly was a dream come true as Ive always wanted to do a hike and paint - and we got to do two! Between our beach paint and mountains paint sessions, we learned so many new techniques and got to enjoy the Great Outdoors. She was thoughtful in her hiking route, making time for breaks, hitting note worthy sights and even brought snacks and all of the painting supplies herself! We couldn’t have asked for a better host, and if you have the chance to work with Sarah you will know just how genuine her passion for the outdoors and arts are! Thanks for partnering with Great Outdoors San Diego and making us your first out of state adventure for this collab program!!

The experience was so fun and had a great time. From start to finish I was engaged and having fun.Taking home a piece of art was just a plus.

couldn’t recommend this more! myself and a friend has the pleasure of having a hike with just us and sarah. she was both knowledgeable, kind and so supportive of us for our journey. i came excited and left overjoyed, centered and grateful. the painting was so fun too! we took the “moderate” hike but it was totally doable for those who are not active hikers or might be nervous for the climb. everyone book this experience asap!

What a nice low key way to introduce ourselves to the mountain region after moving to Denver from North Carolina. Sarah did a nice job of helping us detach from our day-to-day, connect with nature, and “climb our first mountain” which involved a casual walk up trails in Mount Falcon Park. Perfect for those of us acclimating to mile plus altitude. The setting for our painting lesson was delightful as was the instruction. We each came away with a unique painted canvas. Thumbs up! Thank you Sarah.

Amazing experience! Knowledgeable, kind, and fun tour guide/instructor. I learned so much about the area where we were hiking as well as painting techniques. Highly recommend, can't wait to go again.

Sarah led us on a wonderful 3 mile hike that included an immersive paining session. She was knowledgeable about the area while hiking and took us through a wonderful painting session. This was a truly unique half day experience that allowed us to enjoy nature and truly unleash our creativity. A truly one of a kind Colorado experience.

Sarah has put together a truly wonderful experience with the guided hike and paint! She took us on a moderate 2 mile and focused us on our beautiful surroundings, plant life, history and light patterns. We were then able to incorporate what we saw into our painting as she taught us techniques to create mountains, use painting tools and overall make a memorable painting. Can’t recommend this experience enough!

If you’re looking for a fun way to be out in nature, you need to experience the magic of Abstract Adventures! Sarah is wonderful at providing an approachable art class while you’re surrounded by the beauty of the mountains. Unlike anything I’ve ever done before and will definitely do again! SUPER beginner friendly! It’s a great way to tap into your creativity with such a supportive, encouraging teacher.

This is such a great way to connect with nature and get artsy! Our guide gave us excellent instructions and tips for painting as well as giving us fun information about the area we hiked. Highly recommend!

I had never painted before. Abstract Adventures took us to a beautiful location and helped me create my first painting. She was very patient with this beginner. It was a great experience!

Very relaxing experience. I have never been very artistic, but enjoyed the time with Sarah. She was very patient and knowledgeable with guiding me in the my journey as a first time painter.

My experience going in an Abstract Adventure was transformational. The entire experience helped me build confidence, deepened me connection with nature, and gave me a sense of connection with myself and others that I still feel today. As a self described “city girl” I was nervous about going on a hike. While I am fairly active, I’m from a lower elevation city. Sarah was amazing at pacing the group on the hike, and it really allowed us the opportunity to enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of nature. She was encouraging and motivating. I am NOT a painter! This was my first time ever using paint and canvas, and I’m so glad to have had Sarah as a guide. She was able to give options and guide the experience without comparison or competition. I love the abstract style, as it helped me tap into feelings and colors in ways I wouldn’t normally. My painting isn’t perfect, but I left feeling more creatively open and proud. I recommend Abstract Adventures to hikers, nature lovers, artists, and creative people of ALL levels. I will absolutely go again when in Colorado.

I did a hike & paint experience with Sarah in September 2022 and had the absolute coolest experience. Sarah is such a patient and affirming instructor and helped me feel confident in my newbie painting abilities. It was a really calming and freeing experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique outdoor experience!

Abstract Adventures was so much fun!!! It provided a great opportunity to stop and be present in nature as well as learn new art techniques. Sarah was really chill and approachable and great at walking us through a style of painting we hadn’t tried before. 10/10 would recommend!

What a great experience! 100% recommended. I learned some basics about painting while I enjoyed a beautiful and peaceful landscape with good company. I loved this experience and can't wait to repeat it :)

Sarah took me and two other friends on an abstract hike last year and we all had an absolute blast. The hike was beautiful and she was consistent about checking in with how everyone was doing, taking lots of breaks when needed, and not rushing in order to enjoy the sights and sounds. The spot we set up to paint at had a gorgeous view, and Sarah had everything we needed. She guided us through the painting part, but loosely enough so that everyone could flex their creativity (even beginners) and the paintings all turned out completely original and awesome. She was diligent about leaving no trace, as well. Couldn’t recommend this experience more as a unique way to take in Colorado’s beauty!
