Bring a small easel or chair and your drawing or painting materials, and choose your subject from the collections of birds, bears, lions, and Oceanic artifacts.

During the program, instructor Kathy Hodge will circulate for those who wish feedback, and at the end of the session, attendees will gather to view and discuss each otherโ€™s work. Museum is closed to the public during Drawing Wild.

ABOUT KATHY HODGE: Kathy Hodge attended RISD and has a BFA in painting from Swain School of Design. She has been working in oils and charcoal for over 30 years, has exhibited widely and was awarded the 2017 Fellowship in Painting from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts. Kathy has long taken inspiration from the natural world in her landscape paintings and was appointed Artist in Residence in thirteen of our National Parks and Forests. She first discovered the collections of the Museum of Natural History and Planetarium when taking a museum class and she is very excited to be able to offer this opportunity to draw from the collections.
