Brinkley Messick lives in a house in Salida Colorado, yet anywhere outside is where he feels most at home. Work-life and play in the outdoors all intermingle for Brinkley. He takes great joy in introducing his children to the vast array of activities available to them in Colorado. Rarely does he venture out without at least a sketchbook and often with brushes and paint. Always done by hand, never computer, Brinkley captures light and landscapes on salvaged fabric, and wood.
