Ages 5+, Fee: $20

As you walk around Wetlands Park, you may notice little imprints of plants or tracks left behind by the many animals that call this park their home. Maybe you saw the tracks of a ground squirrel, or the hops of a bird! Maybe you even saw the rolling marks left by a tumbleweed! While you can’t quite take home anything from the park, it may be fun to document your experiences in a cool medallion to remind you of your own special journey.
Wren Flick is an emerging metals artist from Henderson, Nevada. He began his artistic journey in his grandmother’s glass studio and painting with his father before becoming a French horn player and ultimately discovering metalsmithing. Working with metals, stones, found objects, and enamels, his practice explores internal and external observation, nature, and texture. Wren earned his BFA in Visual Arts with an emphasis in Art Jewelry and Metalsmithing from Boise State University in 2024. His work has been featured in the R. Grey Gallery silent auctions (2022, 2023), showcased online by Ten Moir Gallery, and published in the Arts to Hearts Nature artist collective book. Outside of the studio, he enjoys fishing, kayaking, and rockhounding. He is currently continuing his studies at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
