I am an artist and former wildand fire-fighter living in Western North Carolina. I’ve spent my whole life having amazing experiences in the mountains, deserts, canyons and forests of our beautiful planet. I have had the privilege climbing, mountaineering, working, skiing, backpacking, mountain biking and plein-air painting in many inspiring places. Steep terrain, however, is what really gets my attention.

I created Steep Earth Designs to share my love of high, steep places, with you.
