Parks Art Collection

🧊🗻One thing I've always been blessed with is a very clear vision of exactly what I want to do. While it can make me stubborn at times, it has also led me to not let any set backs or challenges stop me from reaching the goals I want to achieve.

I am going to see all the National Parks, each journey has been an amazing story. I say it all the time, but this National park journey has been the honor of a lifetime to experience with family & friends.

Becoming a nurse was another thing I never questioned. I wanted to be a nurse from the time I was a little kid. I don't remember anything else. I had some setbacks in college both financially and academically, but I never let that get in my way. There was no question in my mind that the end result would be the same.

I am so grateful to have this sort of determination as it had made my life so enjoyable, less confusing, and not so frustrating. When I do achieve those goals, I'm only left thinking, okay what now? It's a blessing and a bit of a curse!

Join me as I venture to National Park #51!

📣🎊🎉I am SO EXCITED to announce that Parks Art Collection has partnered with its first official NATIONAL PARK non profit !! 🙌🥳🏜️ CAPITOL REEF, UTAH

🎨🪵Our hand drawn treasures will be available this summer at the gift shop! I created 3 custom designs that will only be available there at the shop, so if you're planning a visit, be sure to get a limited edition design ! Thanks to the team at Capitol Reef for giving me a chance and helping support our public lands through USA made Artworks !🌲🪾🙏

People are CONSTANTLY asking me, what's your favorite national park? Okay, top 3? I get it! I know you want the answer but the answer is just more complicated than that. I have so many favorites but it all depended on time of year, time of day, who I was with, why I was there, and how much time I spend there.

I think the only question you should ask: which park would you go BACK TO over and over again? Places where you can never see it all. So here's my answers-- Zion, Arches, Rocky, Teton, Glacier, Channel Islands, Katmai, Yosemite, Hawaii Volcanoes, Haleakala, Denali, Sequoia.

What about parks that took my breath away upon first entering?? Not as many: Kenai Fjords, Katmai, Zion, Glacier, Sequoia, white sands (at sunrise), crater lake.

Any places I've been that didn't get a fair chance (too short or rushed trip): Grand Canyon, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, Channel Islands, Denali.

Parks that are overrated: NOT A SINGLE ONE
