“People are sometimes surprised to learn walking is a fundamental part of my painting practice. Long hikes allow me to experience the landscape’s elemental forces, which I then bring to my studio. I frequently return to the places I’m painting, allowing a sense of time to be layered in the work. I make landscape paintings because I believe that we’re culturally disconnected from our environment and, like Transcendentalists who’ve come before me, I believe it’s from a relationship with the more-than-human world that we come to actualize our full humanity. My paintings allow people to live with an echo of our world’s sublime power and to be reminded daily of its ultimate fragility.” -Pete Hocking
