Back to painting places I love, and just finished this one. I'm trying to work fast and be not-precious about it. Image is from a backpacking trip in the Sierras from a couple of years ago; David tells me its looking south towards Alpine Col in Darwin Basin. That was a sweet place.

Kinda here as a hedge, in case I get impulsive and delete my other social media accounts.

First post / Intro: I’m a multidisciplinary artist deeply connected to the practice of walking and exploring landscapes. My art and writing are inspired by the experiences and reflections that arise from these drawings of the present moment.
