Thanks for stopping by Cape Cod Art and Nature, home of artist, writer, naturalist and educator, Mary Richmond.

This summer why not spend some quality time outdoors by yourself, with a friend or partner or with your family exploring nature through art? I have spent most of my life outdoors here on Cape Cod learning about native plants, animals and birds. Much of what I have learned has come from direct observation and much of that has been learned while watching, sketching or painting.

You don't have to be an artist to enjoy drawing or painting out in nature. Beginners are among my favorite students and I invite you to not be afraid. I even offer materials at a negligible cost for you to use and free for kids so you don't have to make too much of a commitment.

Join us for a class or two. You'll be glad you did!
