Join us at the Elk Run picnic area for a morning of painting in the park! Embrace the sights and sounds of nature, allowing them to inspire your artistic creations. Participants are encouraged to paint whatever they would like. From views of Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, various flora and fauna, or something from your own imagination, the options are endless! This program is run by local artisan Nancy Anderson who will be available to provide tips, tricks and encouragement as needed. All materials will be provided. However, you may bring your own paints and brushes if desired. This event is free. All vehicles entering the park must have a valid park pass. Day passes can be purchased at the Visitor Center for $10. A little more about our volunteer artist: Nancy says her favorite part of being an artist and calligrapher is guiding and teaching others, which she has done since 1980. Her love of art began as a child and continues to this day. Her degree in graphic design is part of her skill set which includes painting, drawing, inkwork, calligraphy, and inspirational storytelling with live chalk drawings and special lighting effects.

My husband and I retired to Colorado Springs in 2019. We lived in the Pacific NW for 47 years prior to this move. I am a retired artist and calligrapher but still enjoying those interests. I taught in those fields since 1980. Besides art and calligraphy I enjoy gardening and playing with my grandchildren.
