Colorado’s national parks

“I was blown away by the sheer depth and texture of this park—it’s one of the most dramatic places I’ve ever seen, carved over eons in layers of earth.”

All four of Colorado’s national parks

Colorado has four national parks, and Topher has painted each: the peaks of Rocky Mountain, the sheer walls of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde and the dunes of Great Sand Dunes.

They belong to all 46 national parks Topher has painted, led by his permanent display at Grand Teton through 2042.
