Alaska Art: The Last Frontier Parks

Alaska

“Denali feels untouchable—majestic, cold, and infinite. I painted this to capture that vastness and the rare silence that comes with it.”

The last frontier parks

Alaska’s parks are vast and mostly roadless. Denali National Park holds the peaks and the rare silence around them; Gates of the Arctic National Park, the northernmost park, holds mountains and tundra.

On the coast, Kenai Fjords National Park sets glaciers against the sea, and Lake Clark National Park reflects its peaks in glassy water. They belong to all 46 national parks Topher has painted.
