Learn more about the artist Brinkley Messick:
Bio: Originally from North Carolina Brinkley 'Brink' Messick traded the Southern Appalachians for the Southern Rockies in 2006 and currently works out of a 1964 Airstream art studio in Salida Colorado. First and foremost Brink is a dad and family man, in addition he also makes art and has been involved in the Outdoor Recreation and Conservation world in Colorado for almost two decades. He developed an intimate connection with the landscape while guiding horse packing and mountaineering in the central part of the state before transitioning into the world of stewardship, conservation and trails. "As outdoorists it is imperative to preserve and protect the resources that which we recreate within, trails are both vital access to outdoor recreation and for some a vital outdoor recreation resource themselves."
When not building trails or making art Brink is most likely playing outside on a bike, in the snow, and introducing his 2 kids to the 22 million acres of public land in their backyard.
