Our Story

Painted Parks Studio was created by artist Paula Soper from a deep love of painting, travel, and the natural beauty of America’s national parks.

Paula is a fine artist who paints both plein air, directly from the landscape, and in her studio, where sketches, photographs, color studies, and memories become finished works of art. Her paintings are inspired by the changing light over canyon walls, the quiet movement of coastal grasses, the drama of mountain skies, and the small details that make each place unforgettable.

The idea behind Painted Parks Studio is simple: to bring the joy of painting national treasures into your own hands. Whether you have stood at the edge of the Grand Canyon, walked a quiet trail in Acadia, watched waves crash along a national seashore, or simply dream of visiting these places someday, each kit is designed to help you connect with the beauty and memory of the landscape.

Every Painted Parks Studio kit begins with artwork by Paula Soper. The paintings are translated into creative projects that invite you to slow down, look closely, and experience the pleasure of making something by hand. Some kits are designed for beginners, while others offer a more detailed painting experience for people who want a deeper creative challenge.

Painted Parks Studio is for travelers, dreamers, nature lovers, and anyone who wants to bring a little more beauty into daily life. You do not need to be an experienced artist to begin. You only need curiosity, a love of color, and a place you want to remember.

Art inspired by nature. Made by you.
