We’re thrilled to welcome Mary Arnold as our 2026 Artist in Residence! Born and raised in Idaho, Mary is a conservation artist whose work celebrates wildlife, open spaces, and our deep connection to nature. 

Mary has previously served residencies for Land Trust of the Treasure Valley, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Payette Land Trust, Craters of the Moon Centennial, and most recently, Bears Ears National Monument. She’s also an Idaho Master Naturalist and serves on the board of the MK Nature Center. 

We can’t wait to see how her art helps tell the story of conservation in Southeast Idaho!
