Kinney Azalea Gardens

This immersive series invites participants to capture the garden’s vibrant seasonal transformations through sketching and watercolor painting. Meeting every other week from spring through summer, we’ll explore a progression of blooms—from early azaleas and rhododendrons to later native wildflowers—documenting each stage of the season.

Participants will learn approachable techniques for observing and painting flowers directly from life in a relaxed, supportive environment. Emphasis will be placed on slowing down, seeing with intention, and translating the beauty of the garden onto paper.
A small materials fee includes a watercolor sketchbook, paints, and pre-printed watercolor cards featuring line drawings to guide your work or serve as inspiration.

About the Artist
Jessica Shaffer is a Rhode Island–based landscape painter specializing in coastal scenes in watercolor and oil. Living and working in South Kingstown, she has spent more than thirty years observing the shifting tides, marshes, rocky shores, and luminous light that define coastal New England. &nbsp;

Jessica’s work reflects a deep connection to place. Whether painting en plein air beside the ocean or refining compositions in the studio, she aims to translate the feeling of being outdoors—the salt air, the quiet rhythms of the bay, the changing color of the sky—into artwork that invites calm and a sense of presence. 

Her paintings resonate with residents and visitors who want to bring the experience of coastal Rhode Island into their homes and workplaces. She exhibits her work in local artists’ cooperatives and galleries, offering original paintings ranging from intimate plein air studies to larger statement pieces. Her work appeals to collectors who appreciate coastal living and a refined sense of place.

Join us for the next Kids at Kinney&nbsp;workshop as we explore the fascinating world of pressed flowers and plants! Participants will learn the basics of flower pressing, discover the main parts of a plant, and use real pressed flowers and foliage to create a beautiful piece of botanical artwork to take home.

Children are welcome to bring their own flower press and collected plant materials, or purchase a flower press from Kinney for an additional $21&nbsp;to continue creating at home. This hands-on workshop is a fun way to combine art, nature, and science while inspiring creativity and a deeper appreciation for the plants around us.

Perfect for curious young artists and budding botanists alike!

Deans Mill Farm 

Built in the mid-1700s as a functioning livestock farm, Deans Mill Farm has gone through an evolution in recent decades. A full renovation of the historic buildings and rejuvenation of the surrounding 70+ acres has made the property into the incredible venue it is today. Deans Mill Farm now operates primarily as a private event space and five-room bed and breakfast tucked down a private road in Stonington, Connecticut. It shares its property with Dragonfly Equestrian Center and is home to dozens of horses. On the property lies meadows, hiking trails, beautiful fields and Dragonfly Disc Golf. The property can be rented for weddings, birthday parties and other special events. Additionally, the bed and breakfast can be rented by the room or reserved in its entirety for complete privacy. The Farm has the ability to host small private indoor events for up to 50 guests in the Farmhouse. Outdoor tented events are our specialty, with numerous locations on-site that are picturesque for your celebration. Outdoor tented celebrations can accommodate up to 250 guests.
