Mary Fassbinder - National Parks Project

[rlown]

I wasn't sure where to put this post, so I'll drop it here as some of her art is about the Sierra:

"With our world so continuously changing, I want to preserve the lands through paintings that will feed the souls of future generations. I am forever grateful to the land and all it has given me, and I want to give back.

Realizing this led me to a goal: to paint on location, or “en plein air,” all of the National Parks in the U.S. within three and a half years. This goal, which I started in August 2014 and completed in April 2018, has presented a great challenge to myself. Through the process, not only did I become aware of my burning desire to finish this project because of what it meant to me, I found people who are just as passionate about preserving this land as well."

Really great work!

Now she learned about the new Gateway Arch NP in Missouri and has to go there and paint.. A nice life!
