Join Nevada Humanities at the Desert National Wildlife Refuge on Sunday, July 27 to work with artists Alina Lindquist and Bobbie Ann Howell and create a Nevada, P.S. I Love You postcard of your own inspired by the landscape, birds, and Joshua trees surrounding the Corn Creek Visitor Center. Participants will also receive a copy of Sagebrush to Sandstone: A Humanities Guide to Outdoor Nevada while supplies last. This is a family-friendly event that is free and open to all ages.

We encourage participants to check weather conditions and the temperature. Wear enclosed shoes and bring layers, sunscreen, and a hat as needed.
Alina Lindquist is a contemporary artist based in Las Vegas who is known for her landscape paintings of the Mojave Desert. She earned her bachelor’s degree in anthropology, art history, and art from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), in 2020 and will begin work on her MFA at UNLV in the fall of 2025. Lindquist held artist residencies at The Mystery Ranch (Avi Kwa Ame National Monument), Great Basin National Park, and Valles Caldera National Preserve. Lindquist’s work originates in plein-air painting, with direct experience of the land that is expanded upon back in the studio. Lindquist often exaggerates the features of the landscape to emphasize its particular characteristics. Her recent work explores the role of public lands — such as Avi Kwa Ame National Monument — highlighting the significance of conservation efforts through visual storytelling.
