Lithic Ski Originals

This is the complete series of the six 72” x 15” original illustrations created for the 2019/2020 Lithic Ski lineup. This series was a labor of love, created while working long hours over three months. The six illustrations are part of a series yet each one is unique and stands alone. I view all my collaborations as an opportunity to try something new and grow as an artist. I approached this project more conceptually and relied heavily on pattern to capture the essence of the Pacific Northwest. To do so, I applied limitations both in terms of the medium and technique. Specifically, I worked almost exclusively with narrow pens and vertical lines. In doing so, I tried to distill down the imagery as much as I could to convey the subtle, delicate feeling of these landscapes. As is the case with most of my work, and especially in this series, I utilize a very laborious technique that helps me achieve a level of obsessions that matches what I feel when traveling in these landscapes. One thing I’ve always appreciated about seeing original art in person is how the layers reveal themselves as you move closer - each piece has an optimum viewing distance yet can be appreciated from multiple vantage points. These originals are definitely best viewed in person where the extensive line-work and layering can be most appreciated. Each piece is individually priced and offers a detailed description - please click on images for closeups.

Description: While most of my work focuses on mountain landscapes, I am less concerned with depicting a beautiful landscape than I am with sharing some deeper connection to these places. To do this, I typically approach my work more conceptually than a traditional landscape artist, and this piece stands apart from the rest of the series in that it is much more conceptual. For this piece I used a lattice of vertical lines to create an abstract representation of glacier, saracs, snowflakes, and lettering. The lettering doesn’t say anything specific, rather it represents the stories and history frozen in place, compressed with the snowflakes over thousands of years of accumulating snow and glacier formation.
