Maintains an ongoing artistic journey at his studio near the Sierra Nevadas, centered on longevity, enjoyment, and continued exploration of color, vibration, music, and the human spirit. A lifelong backpacker, hiker, and camper, Stallings draws deeply from the natural world. Time spent hiking, camping, and exploring remote landscapes continues to shape his creative process, inspiring new works and future projects created directly in nature or informed by it.
