Hi there, I’m Parker.
I’m an artist and adventurer who is currently living nomadically and traveling the US in my truck that I converted into a camper. I’m a Texas native, nature boy, and lover of the outdoors.
When I’m not at a desk making art you’ll likely find me somewhere in the wilderness pondering the meaning of life while on a hike.
Mother Nature is the master artist; I’m simply a messenger, telling her story through my drawings.
About My Work
I draw to reveal the sacred in the subtle - inviting us to look deeper, listen closer and remember.
Using primarily graphite pencil and pen, my goal is to spark a deeper sense of awe for the natural world by merging elements found in nature with ambiguous design that often has mystical symbolism. What do you feel when you pause to admire the symmetry of a butterfly's wings, smell a flower, or ponder the vastness of space? Recognizing those simple moments can transform our perspective of this experience we call life.
