Artist Interview
We thought it would be fun to do mini interviews of our team so you can get to know more about us and our love of the parks! First up is our artist Emily Schnall.
What is your favorite national park and why?
This is probably a basic choice, but I visited Yellowstone on my very first trip to a national park as a kid, so it’ll always have a special place in my heart. Obviously the flora and fauna are breathtaking and will always take home the gold for me, but the geology is incredible and truly worth experiencing in person. Yellowstone is a classic for a reason!
What is your favorite card from this collection?
I’ll go with the kangaroo rat from Arches! I’m really pleased with how that art came out and what a cutiepie! They’re just such a pleasing shape, a little potato with these spindly appendages.
Share a memory of a visit to a national park.
I spent my 13th birthday in Denali on a family trip, I vividly remember on that exact day I was scrambling up some rocky outcrops and suddenly found myself face to face with a couple pikas (of card fame!) who barked at me! Incredible! Like meeting a celeb!
What is the next national park on your to-visit list?
I hope someday I can travel west for a mega-organism tour! I’d go to Sequoia of course, and, this might be cheating since they’re in national forests technically, but I’d love to visit Pando the giant quaking aspen and the massive honey fungus in Malheur National Forest! Also as an east coast native it’s a shame I haven’t visited the parks out here, so Acadia and Shenandoah are on the list too!
