Turtle River State Park
Join us for our Artist in Residence Weekend! The Artist in Residency program is a partnership between the ND Council on the Arts and the ND Parks & Recreation Department. All programs are free and you do not have to be camping to attend our programs. Rain outs will be held in the Visitor Center Classroom. Vehicle passes are required for vehicles entering state parks.
About the Artist
Lynae Hanson’s works are a mix of realism and expressionism, featuring an abstraction of colors. Her subjects are always recognizable but the colors she uses are vibrant and unexpected, and her paint strokes are painterly, versus looking photo realistic. Lynae’s art style depicts multiple colors (in unique combinations) for objects or places that are often viewed as one color. People view the sky as blue, but she sees pinks, purples, blues and grays. When others look at the grass, they see green, where she sees olive, yellow, orange, and cobalt.
An Exhibition In Color
Friday, August 16
8pm at the Amphitheater
Join Lynae for an exhibition in color! She will display a variety of paintings ranging from very realistic to more abstract, both in style and in color selections. She’ll explain her color selections and process, which includes getting outside to hike, take photos, and sometimes just listen to take in everything nature has to offer.
Camping in Color
Saturday, August 17
8pm at the Amphitheater
Join Lynae in this hands-on painting session where you’ll learn about all the colors in nature, how to mix them, and how to apply them in a painting. During this session, you’ll be invited to help Lynae with her painting by transforming her pre-painted green leaves and grasses into something magical by adding yellow, blue, orange, and more.
