Drawn In

What are the connections between exploration in the natural world and investigations in creating art? Visual artist and backcountry guide, Jessa Gilbert, examines the parallels found within both creative acts while splitboarding in Antarctica and creating a painting directly from that experience. Jessa marries her guiding pursuits and painting practices, working through uncertainty, advancing forward with curiosity and intention, and returning to the same driving question of “I wonder” that draws you back into the process.
