Join Portland Trails and TEMPOart for Creative Paths: Nature Drawing!

Savor the peak of autumn in Maine with a pencil in your hand. Local printmaker Jordan Kendall Parks will lead a drawing practice inspired by the sights, sounds, smells, patterns, and emotions you experience in the heart of the Evergreen Woods.

Pencils and sketchbooks will be provided for all participants, but please feel free to bring your own materials. Stay tuned for a rain date for this event.

Jordan Kendall Parks (she/they) is a Black bi-racial femme who lives and works in South Portland, Maine. Jordan uses art to spark conversations around place, existence, and belonging. Her work is heavily influenced by our relationship with the natural world and each other, and they focus on cultivating interactive outdoor exhibitions that encourage people to engage with their surroundings, find a sense of adventure, and discover art along the way.

This is the third event of our Creative Paths series exploring the connections between our creative selves and the natural world. Each event will have its own unique flavor and will be led by local experts. Discover Portland's extensive trail network and celebrate TEMPOart's 2025 installation of "Winged Kelp"!
