PPFF’s volunteer artist, Melodie Schwarz-Higgins creates the templates based on photographs submitted in PPFF’s annual Thru the Seasons Photo Contest

Noticing the daffodils starting to come up, spring was on Melodie’s mind when she saw Charlie Hutler’s beautiful photo of Sinnemahoning State Park.

The bright greens and cool blue sky made her think of spring and St. Patrick’s Day. 

Each do-it-yourself template is appropriate for all skill levels and provides a unique opportunity for individuals and families to connect with one another and nature.

Melodie’s goal is to make nature accessible to everyone through art.

“The Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation appreciates the work of Melodie to inspire the exploration of the reciprocal relationship between nature and art. These fun pieces are sure to inspire you to pick up a brush and to go outside,” said Marci Mowery, Foundation President.
