About Art Toolkit

In 2004 Maria Coryell-Martin, founder of Art Toolkit, embarked on a year-long Watson Fellowship to explore remote landscapes through art. This experience inspired a resolve to continue working as an expeditionary artist with a focus on polar and glacier science and to inspire environmental awareness in audiences of all ages. She was inspired to create a compact sketching and painting kit after a memorable experience monitoring walruses on a small island in eastern Greenland.  

Art Toolkit is based out of Port Townsend, a seaside arts and boat-building community in Washington State. They create and curate tools for artists who are interested in urban city exploration or more reclusive adventures. With Art Toolkit, you can have everything you need to create art wherever your settings may be.
