Chrissy Noel Kinslow is a Moab-based community artist whose work weaves together art, nature connection, and shared experience. Rooted in the landscapes of the Colorado Plateau, her practice centers on listening deeply and creating accessible, heart-led spaces for reflection and creative expression. Through guided art experiences, storytelling, and land-based practices, she invites participants to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the natural world. She says, "As the 2026 Community Artist in the Parks, I invite you to join me in these sacred and stunning spaces for a series of mindful, creative, and nature-centered experiences. Together, we will slow down, breathe deeply, and let the landscape speak through our art." Throughout 2026, Kinslow will create original work within the parks for a minimum of 24 hours per month, April through October, and share her inspiration and creative process with visitors. Her works will be sold in the Canyonlands Natural History Association stores during her tenure. "Visitors from around the world come to experience these national parks—but few have the chance to witness, and participate in, art created directly from the desert in real time. I am honored to share this journey with you." Dates for Kinslow's 2026 park visits will be posted below and are subject to change or cancellation if needed. |
