PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL

Throughout this internship, I was given creative freedom to promote attendance and events at LCRA (Lower Colorado River Association) Parks along the lower Colorado River in Texas. One of my unique sources for promotional material became plein air paintings I would create on site at park locations to characterize the beauty and tranquility of the space.

THE WORK

These images were displayed across social media platforms amidst the seasons that the images best fit. For example, the pumpkin patch was shared close to Halloween to promote the park’s events around that holiday. Documenting the work in the space as well as my process was important to showcase not only the work, but the unique experiences visitors could have at the selected parks.
