From deer and foxes to owls hidden in the trees, this camp celebrates the magic and mystery of forest life. Campers will create artwork inspired by woodland animals, forest habitats, and dreamy nature scenes full of mood and imagination.
Using mixed media such as painting, drawing, clay, paper mâché, and pastels, young artists will explore texture, layering, and storytelling while developing a deeper appreciation for the natural world. This camp blends creativity, curiosity, and connection to nature in a warm and inspiring studio environment.
This camp is primarily indoors, but students will go outdoors, weather permitting. Students should arrive prepared for outdoor time with appropriate layers, sunscreen applied, sun hat, sunglasses, water bottle, and snacks.

Jessica MahanJessica Mahan is a professional acrylic and oil painter and an art teacher with a degree in Art Education and Secondary Education. She previously taught art in the public school system for 7 years, has been a professional artist for 8 years and loves sharing her love of art with others through classes, workshops, retreats and paint at home kits. She is in awe of the natural world. Nature has the ability to wake up her mind to the present moment, sparking ideas and insight. The resulting paintings are vivid, emotional, playful and dreamlike. Her art practice helps her slow down and notice the world around her by examining shapes, colors, movement rhythms and light. She often uses symbolism and thinks of her work as visual poetry. Outside of art, she loves travel, yoga, nature, music and hanging out with her dog.
