Join one of my Nature Sketching Holidays or schedule a private tour for your friends and family.
In 2025 and beyond I hope to organize trips to stunning locations in such countries as South Africa, Costa Rica, Belize, and Ecuador that are chosen for their natural beauty and tranquility.

I enjoyed my sketching trip to Honduras with Christine, it was the perfect combination of seeing incredible wildlife, learning new sketching skills, seeing birds that I’ve never seen before, and enjoying some of the best food I’ve ever tasted. This trip has changed my idea for Future travel. I love that my travel dollars went to helping preserve nature in a pristine environment, and making Honduras a better country through tourism (rather than agribusiness farming). I came home inspired to paint all the beautiful Wildlife that I had experienced while there and I have noticed that my sketching skills have improved dramatically!

Thank you for a wonderful trip and an excellent introduction to nature sketching! I had a fantastic time and am leaving Honduras inspired and looking forward to future travels with you!
—Veronica Bowers, California
I want to say again how wonderful our trip was to Honduras. I loved everything about it. There are so many nice memories, and it was lots of fun trying to sketch plants and animals, and great food, and a really lovely place to stay. Our local co-leading guide, Esdras was fab, and so were you, Christine. Thanks again for a great trip.

-Ian Fawley, Interpretive Ranger, Silver Falls State Park, Oregon
“Christine Elder has a refreshingly welcoming approach to teaching about birds through art that reflects her obvious passion for wildlife and conservation of our natural environment. Whether at her home in Oregon or visiting us deep in the tropics at the Vallarta Botanical Garden, she has a marvelous potential to connect people with birds in a rich and meaningful way”
