With nature as our muse, we’ve traveled from sea lion beaches to the Pyrenees for inspiration to create art and inspire others to explore

There are so many beautiful national parks it is hard to choose. For us though, seeing abundant wildlife is a priority. We would love the opportunity to experience the wilderness of Denali National Park and see the grizzlies, caribou, moose, and Dall sheep that live there. Another exciting place to explore is Everglades National Park because of its great variety of bird life and spectacular evening skies.
What has been your favorite adventure experience?In summer 2019, we explored Newfoundland's wilderness. We encountered puffins up close on sea cliffs, watched humpback whales breach while feeding on capelin, and saw massive turquoise icebergs sail along the shoreline. We were given special access to photograph seabird colonies where we saw tens of thousands of Gannets, Razorbills & more. In search of painting spots, we hiked through thick forests and wild berry-covered fields. Each day was an unforgettable adventure that still makes us smile.
What would you do with $10,000?We would purchase the art supplies needed to explore nature’s marvelous symphony of colors, textures and patterns that inspire us. To share our journey with others around the world, we would create an online exhibit and presence encouraging them to pursue their own adventures and fall back in love with nature.
