My name is Travis Hipp.

For most of my life I have been fascinated by the nature of things.  I remember long walks in the woods chasing the twinkling of light through the overhanging leaves, staring out over an expanse of desert watching the rainclouds string down to earth and waiting to be engulfed by the odor of sagebrush, the uniqueness of a single river stone plucked from beneath the surface; moments distilled down to their purest element.  Though life has become continuously busier, I’m still fascinated.

The works included here are as varied in nature as the experiences I share with the world each day.  I enjoy attempting to capture that one pure thing as often as possible, because in doing so I feel more human, more childlike.  In noticing the beauty of a detail, perception becomes more precise.  So I write, I draw, I take pictures, I use those tools of creativity as a conduit to explore the depths within and without, searching for the next pure thing.
