Meet our new friends: Paint The Parks!

February 05, 2015

We always love finding new organizations helping artists use their talents for good. Our See America campaign has helped us find other park-minded artists, and when we just met Karin Leonard, founder of Paint The Parks, we knew we had to share it with our artists - especially all the CAN painters out there! 

The purpose of PainttheParks.com is to spark a fire in the hearts of artists, art lovers and nature enthusiasts all over the world.

Participation is easy. PaintTheParks.com provides complimentary links to artists' websites, using pages that feature their parks paintings worldwide. Participating artists donate a minimum of 10% from the sale of their parks paintings to the respective State and National Park Associations, or a Park-related Program of their choice.

And when patrons purchase from participating artists worldwide, in addition to owning beautiful original art, they also demonstrate a commitment to conserving these precious sanctuaries worldwide.

Through painting, purchasing and donating, we intend to protect precious nature reserves for future generations.

Would love to have you join the quest to paint and preserve our parks, whether you are an artist, an art collector or a nature lover! Please visit http://www.painttheparks.com/participants/ to get started.

Meet Annie Riker, a See America Artist Who Inspired Merrell Shoes & Wyeth Hats!

June 10, 2021

We'd love to tell you about Annie Riker, an artist out of Asheville, North Carolina. She's a surface designer and illustrator who over the years has contributed her national park posters and sticker designs to CAN. This spring her Appalachian Trail design inspired two See America product launches, Merrell trail running shoes and Wyeth hats! Annie is a former Creative Director for the NPCA and we're so grateful that her national park expertise, love of nature, creative spirit and illustration skills landed her in our community where her work can do so much good. You can see Annie's designs online at CAN and be sure to check out her Merrell trail running shoes and Wyeth hat project, too, all helping support Earthjustice organization. We know you'll enjoy reading all about Annie!

Know who loves the outdoors and helping good causes as much as we do? Merrell! We enjoyed our first collaboration with them so much we did it again – introducing a new line of trail running shoes inspired by See America posters of our nation's most celebrated through-hikes, the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail. One part inspiration and one part commemoration, the new shoe collection helps support Earthjustice organization. Integral to this project are the amazing poster designs from artists Brooke FischerJonathan Scheele and Annie Riker, and we hope you really love reading the story of how this project came to be. Huge thanks to Merrell for always being down to party with us in support of a worthy organization, not once but twice!
