	1905	Burt Calkins I have been involved with many artist-in-residency programs in state and national parks, museums, visitor's centers, wildlife refuges and more for over two decades.
	1905	Burt Calkins In all cases, the art programs are very popular with visitors. They can see and observe the natural world from a new perspective, learn new things and perhaps become inspired to appreciate and protect the natural world.
	1905	Robert Johnson Notebook Page/View of Eagle Butte, 17" x 21" Watercolor + Graphite
	1905	Kathy Hodge The White Place, 35" x 32" Oil on Canvas
	1905	Siri Beckman Looking back over the 5 residencies I have done, the Badlands remains my favorite. The month long time frame made it possible to explore the landscape more intensely. The woodcut shown is 22" x 28" printed in color using stencils plus the block.
	1905	Siri Beckman Badlands, Wood Engraving
	1905	Siri Beckman Sod Table, Wood Engraving
	1905	Melanie Jeffs The final art piece I have chosen to create, reflective of the Badlands National Park, is a hand sculpted bas-relief ceramic tile mural titled Hoodoo Sky…this mural depicts awesome rock formations layered in glowing hues of red, gold, and brown.
	1905	Betsy Popp I knew that the mourning dove would be my subject matter and nestling them into a formation made the piece nowhere else but the Badlands. From the panoramic views to the small fossil fragments the Badlands is like nowhere else on earth.
	1905	Charlie Lyon My primary subject is the landscape. My fieldwork consists of some drawing and painting on site supplemented with an extensive amount of photographing. Since my residency at Badlands National Park, the focus of my work has been that unique landscape.
	1905	Jenn Wilson Spring in the Badlands, 62"x 20" Oil on Canvas
	1905	Tim Young This particular scene took place after a rain storm had just passed and the late afternoon sun began to shine. The close-up of the ridge...reflected an orange-yellow hue contrasting with the bright blue sky and passing purple rain clouds.
	1905	Brent E. White Brent created carousel-style wildlife figures themed to the Lakota myth "The Great Race," featuring the parks four reintroduced species: Bison, Big-Horned Sheep, Swift Fox, and Black-Footed Ferret.
	1905	Brent E. White Bighorn Sheep, 48" x 153" x 36" Wood Carving
	1905	Brent E. White Black-Footed Ferret, 17" x 13" x 8" Wood Carving
	1905	Brent E. White Swift Fox, 34" x 8" x 20" Wood Carving
	1905	Harold Nelson I think the national parks and what they offer us is special. If I were to try to describe what the NPS means to me, I guess I would define it as, “the space between the notes of the chaotic symphony of our everyday lives.”
	1905	Brenda Howell I watched Angel Butte in morning, afternoon and evening light and became captivated as the last rays of sunlight permeated the fantastic form and for minutes turned glowing orange just before sundown.
