Rodney in an eastern Sierra hot spring, circa 1975
Rodney has worked in a variety of art mediums over the past 40 years. For several years he was actively involved in creating abstract encaustic art, as well as showing his art, teaching workshops, and presenting at national conferences. His art and writing have been featured in several books on encaustic art.
In 2016 Rodney moved to the eastern Sierra. He had been hiking and backpacking in the eastern Sierra since 1972 and came to love the area for its natural beauty and extensive hiking and exploring opportunities. Since living in Bishop, California his art has shifted to reflect his love, passion, and reverence for the natural wonder of the high alpine Sierra, as well as the region’s deserts and other local mountains. Through photography and other art forms he shares some of these extraordinary and inspiring landscapes. A land of incredible variety and contrast, from mountains to deserts and places to explore in all seasons, the “Eastside” is a magnificent place to live and play.
