Hopi Artist Fred Kabotie's Painted Desert Inn Mural | NPS Photo

Instructor: Carol Sletten

Bring a canvas or some paper and your favorite art medium to explore the light and shadows, colors and shapes of the inspiring and compelling vistas of the Painted Desert. Every day, every season provides a new view of this famous backdrop from the Historic Painted Desert Inn.

Join Carol Sletten and small group of art and nature lovers for a stimulating and creative afternoon at the Painted Desert Inn. Carol feels like it is a privilege to be able to help people find and express their own unique artistic vision of Painted Desert. She says, “The vistas provide endless inspiration to artists of any style—from those who create pure abstractions to those who excel in creating the most realistic paintings.”

Carol is comfortable and enjoys working with students of all levels of experience.
