A few years ago after a weekend of snowboarding, I found myself longing for that feeling of standing on the mountain, overlooking the entire world below you, feeling the energy, excitement, adrenaline, and nerves as you push off down the hill. The sights of the snow-laden trees, the mountain buried beneath the snow which covers the rocky terrain with a smooth white sea of blissfully perfect white snow, the sounds of families laughing and enjoying the mountain but also each other, and the smells that the crisp cool air carries into your nose. I wanted to be able to bring that back and feel those things again, so it started with being more present in the moment. Sure, you can snap a quick photo and continue on your run down the mountain, but you typically don’t experience the scene like that. There is a special intimacy that comes with taking the time to sit down and take in the sights, sounds, smells, energies, and feelings that are surrounding you on the mountain. As I sketch, I’m not just trying to replicate the visuals, but I want to replicate the feelings and emotions as well. I want to be able to look at a drawing or painting and be able to feel what I felt in that moment. I hope my work not only evokes those same emotions for you but also inspires you to be creative and capture those moments in time whether it be through art, photography or simply being present.
