When Jeremy Lipking was 19 years old, he moved from his family’s home in Southern California to the Sierra Nevada mountain range. He had spent a year taking art classes at a community college but wasn’t fully committed to it. What he really wanted was to be outside—hiking in the mountains, rock climbing, and snowboarding on the California slopes.
At some point during all of that outdoor activity, an idea occurred to Lipking: If he were to become a landscape artist, he could make a career out of being outside.

Ghost Herd

24″x30″
This piece was inspired by a cloudy sunrise in southern Utah. One thing that caught my eye besides the amazing colors were the cloud shapes in the distance creating the illusion of a herd running above the mesa which reminded me of the old cowboy legend of Stampede Mesa.
