Kerala, South India is a relaxed tropical paradise, join us to explore and gently soak up the ambiance. Take time to sit and paint with Carolyn in historic Old Fort, Kochi, in the Backwaters beside the tranquil lakes of Kerala and a few days on palm tree studded beaches.

Vibrant, playful and happy are perfect words to describe her style.
