![]() Matt Harline Meet the 2025 Artists-in-ResidenceMatt HarlineSince his earliest memories, Matt Harline has been an artist. After high school, his life took a 41-year detour to be an electrical/computer hardware engineer. Through college and throughout his engineering career, Matt would draw, paint, and take art classes when time permitted. In 2016, his life was turned upside down by a bicycle accident. A traumatic brain injury changed everything, ending his ability to work as an engineer, but giving him the time to do what he had always dreamed of: creating works of art. ![]() Kit Frost Kit FrostA lifetime artist and passionate educator, Kit Frost has been teaching and making art for over 50 years.

She is the principal at Chase the Light Photography Adventures which specializes in lessons on capturing grand and intimate landscapes for her students and workshop participants.Residencies speak to Kit’s need for exploring locations at depth: spending creatively charged time observing and capturing images. Kit expresses her residency experiences through still and video, time-lapse sequences, and images made with both her Holga plastic camera as well as large format images. Her mission is showing that a single image is often not enough to speak for the immensity of her visual experience. Constantly challenged to record intimacy and grandeur, Kit is passionate about making, teaching, art, landscapes, and life. Kit has been awarded residencies in other National Parks including Crater Lake, Acadia, Capitol Reef, Glacier, Mesa Verde and Yellowstone.
