Lucky Star is a women’s art and whole living sleepaway camp that takes place each fall in the Texas hill country. This is no art retreat in a hotel conference room…and no, we’re not camping in tents… we’re actually “glamping” in climate controlled cabins that are built into the hillside overlooking the Guadalupe River, and we’re eating gourmet, chef-prepared food in a dining hall like we’re at Hogwarts!  We’re fully immersed in creative workshops like jewelry making, astrology, mixed media collage, apothecary, abstract painting, writing, sewing, yoga, welding, pottery, and we’ve even had classes on raising alpacas and tomahawk throwing!  No dishes, no laundry, no driving kids, and no deadlines or demanding bosses.  Just a solid five days to be YOU because we believe in the importance of discovering/reigniting the authentic part of you that makes you feel ALIVE and we know that CREATIVITY can be a powerful catalyst for growth, healing, self-care, connection, and just the spark you need to thrive. 
When we’re not at camp learning, laughing, making, and singing by the campfire, we’re a thriving creative community of supportive women known as the Lucky Star Galaxy and we’d love for you to join us!

On today’s podcast I’ll be talking to longtime Lucky Star camper and instructor, Leslie Gaworecki.  Leslie is a photographer turned abstract artist from Houston, Texas. After moving often and living abroad for much of her youth, she received a BFA in photography from The Ohio State University and found her way back to Texas. Leslie spent the next decade photographing people and events across the country and teaching herself to paint. In 2016 she began showing paintings in her Houston studio and in exhibitions within the city. In 2019 she signed with her first art gallery and had her first solo exhibition. Leslie’s painting practice is driven by color and the surprises that happen when she releases expectation (a lesson she is still trying to learn about life). Leslie lives with her husband, an accidental cat, and four sons who inspire her mark-making and her tendency toward whimsy.  Welcome to the podcast, Leslie Gaworecki!

Have you ever felt stuck when you try to do something creative? You know the feeling when you don’t know what to do next or you get easily overwhelmed by the supplies. Do you stare at a blank page or canvas not knowing how to get started?
Maybe you say to yourself, “I am not creative” or “I always start things and never finish them.”  Roxanne (known online as Super Doodle Girl) has heard so many stories like this from people who want to be creative and don’t know how to start.
So, she created Super Doodle Girl's Journal Jumpstart course to help you transform your fear of the blank page into your own personal super power by guiding you through every step of the art journal process. SuperDoodleGirl workshops and private coaching sessions are the perfect way to learn how to get unstuck and relax. You can learn more www.superdoodlegirl.com/

On today's podcast I interview a new Lucky Star instructor, Yasmin Youssef. Yasmin is a visual artist living and working in Austin, Texas. Her mixed media collage, NFTs, and cyanotype work is influenced by her multi-cultural heritage as well as her professional careers as a Middle Eastern dancer and User Experience designer. While designing enterprise level software for the tech industry, Yasmin was also performing nationally and internationally with Thievery Corporation, Govinda, and as a member of the dance collective she co-founded. Yasmin’s artistic pursuits expanded into visual art as a natural way to gather and present ethereal & moving experiences.
In her mixed media works, inspired by lifespans of beauty and decay in the Natural World, Yasmin reveals deep layers and rich texture by building up and scraping back materials such as vintage collage ephemera, plaster, acrylics, gold leaf, and mark-making. Her work explores common themes, including rich color palettes, elements from the Natural World, and moods of introspection, connection, and internal strength.
This will be Yasmin’s first time teaching at Lucky Star Art Camp and she is excited to share her techniques for creating mixed media collage portraits as well as mini travel journals. Welcome to the podcast, Yasmin Youssef!

On today’s podcast I’ll be talking with an instructor who has been with us from the start, Tiffany Schreiner! Tiffany knew from her very first yoga class that her life was forever changed and for her,  the art of yoga is a gift to be shared with all. Her Texas roots run deep and the essence of that heritage shines through in her Cosmic Cowgirl yoga classes held on the banks of the Guadalupe River at Lucky Star.  You can also find Tiffany leading yoga classes in her beloved Salado, Texas, or spending time with her precious kiddos. Her undying belief in each of our journeys to glisten & thrive beyond survival drives all that she is and all that she gives to each student ages 2-102.
You can follow Tiff’s cosmic cowgirl adventures on Facebook at The Yoga Barn and Silver Spur Arts Academy, on her website  www.sirenafest.com, via Instagram @imagineertxyoga , #theyogabarn or #imagineertxyoga and you can read more about Tiffany in this Bell County publication.
