Artist in Residence Public Program with Rebecca Shewmaker
October 17, 2026 · Source: National Park Service
Location: Big Meadows area Time: TBD Rebecca Shewmaker will lead "Stitched in the Skyline: Art and Stewardship" a discussion of how the unique geography and autumn transformation of Shenandoah National Park inspire her "threadpaintings." Rebecca will explain her creative process—using a sewing machine and thread to "paint" the world around her—and show examples of her intricate textile art. This talk is an invitation to see the Blue Ridge Mountains through a new lens and discover how contemporary craft can deepen our appreciation for the environment. Shenandoah’s Artist-in-Residence program is supported by generous donations to the Shenandoah National Park Trust.
