“The menu is not the meal.” — Alan Watts
Fine Art, Conservation, & Life’s Work
My fine art landscapes—captured on medium-format gear—are large, detailed, and minimally processed to preserve the truth of light, color, and place.
- Violently original abstracts
- Giant-format archival landscapes
- Commission & investment-grade master prints
Long-Term Vision:
Documenting Disappearing Glaciers—a human-powered, large-format book and art project archiving the vanishing ice of the Northern Hemisphere. Artworks are NFT-minted for giant-format original sales, supporting further conservation efforts.
Conservation & Commitment
For every commercial project, I commit to a 1:1 match in conservation volunteer work. My practice is paperless, solar-powered, and as low-impact as possible—plant-based, upcycled gear, wool clothing, minimal driving, human-powered transport wherever possible.
