Explore Art in the Outdoors

Join Denise Wright as we explore neurographic art in the monument.

Join Denise Wright as we explore art in the great outdoors.

Engaging in neurographic art amidst the serene beauty of Colorado National Monument offers a perfect blend of creativity and the great outdoors. Neurographic art, known for its meditative and therapeutic qualities, allows individuals to express their emotions through unique and flowing patterns. This artistic technique not only stimulates creativity but also promotes relaxation and mental well-being. Combine this with the fresh air and stunning landscapes of the Monument, and a rejuvenating experience awaits you.

Nothing is needed but an open mind. Materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own sketchbook.

Denise Wright is a retired D51 art teacher who has lived in Grand Junction for 25+ years. Denise loves the beautiful land we have in western Colorado and is excited to share that joy with you.

Class notes:

  • This class is for teenagers and adults only please.
  • Please bring hiking shoes, layers, water, sunscreen and a snack if needed.
  • Meet in front of the Saddlehorn Visitor Center. We will then walk together to the Book Cliff Shelter area.
  • Prepare for 1 mile of walking total.
  • Park passes are required for entry. Please carpool when possible.
