DESCRIPTION
Get ready for a week of creativity, exploration, and outdoor adventure! In Nature Art day camp, young artist-scientists will immerse themselves in magical Fort Worden State Park, using nature as both their inspiration and their canvas.
Campers will learn to draw from observation, create stunning earth sculptures inspired by eco-artists like Andy Goldsworthy, and experiment with a variety of natural materials to craft unique works of art. Through hands-on activities, they will discover the fascinating patterns, textures, and colors of the world around them.
Each day will be filled with creative projects, fun outdoor games, and guided explorations that encourage curiosity, teamwork and connect art with the science of nature. Whether building ephemeral sculptures on the beach, sketching towering trees, or playing nature-inspired games, campers will carry with them a deeper appreciation for art, science, and the outdoors.

Her exploration of art in and with nature began with childhood mud pies in her backyard and continues to be inspired by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. She thrives when teaching classes in the great outdoors, using art as a tool for self-exploration, grounding, meditation, and play. With degrees in visual art and ecology, she deeply appreciates the interconnectedness of all living things. Her teaching encourages playful, whole-body integration and acceptance, incorporating movement, stretch breaks, and the recognition that art can be a practice of both letting go and play.
