Art on the Landmarks: Painting at the Native Seed Farm

Dive into the amazing array of flourishing flowers of the Native Seed Farm on this outdoor Art on the Landmarks program. The Native Seed Farm grows 50 species of native plants, many of which will be revealing their spring blooms, offering endless inspiration for your creativity. Bring a foldable chair, sketch pads, easel, paints, pens, pencils or pastels, and capture the beautiful scenery around you.

Begin with a guided walk through our wildflower plots and demonstration garden, gathering ideas and inspiration. Then, settle in the staging area to bring your artistic vision to life!

We’re thrilled to welcome Shane McClatchey (shanemcclatchey.com) as our special guest for this event. A Laguna Beach-based painter with an MFA in Painting from the Laguna College of Art and Design, Shane’s work is represented by Kennedy Contemporary in Newport Beach, California. Feel free to follow along as he paints or dive right into your own creation!
