The Inertia

Art is a great platform to express creativity. In all honesty, I prefer being outside skiing, surfing, and climbing. However, art is a great way to harness all of that visual beauty I encounter during those activities.

My pieces usually don’t have much rhyme or reason outside of being a product of my environment. I for sure take inspiration from other friends and artists, such as Taylor Reeve and Eric Pollard, but mostly I’m inspired by my surroundings, and always try to incorporate nature. In the end, I enjoy drawing once I’m in the act — it’s just a matter of making the effort to do it on a more regular basis.
