JEREMY COLLINS is a multifaceted artist, climber, and adventurer whose work intertwines the grit of the wild with a mastery of visual storytelling. Known for his breathtaking illustrations and striking narratives, Collins captures the raw beauty and intensity of the natural world through his art and prose. As a rock climber, his daring ascents in some of the world’s most remote and challenging locations have shaped both his work and worldview, fostering a deep connection between him and the rugged landscapes he immerses into.

From the cover of National Geographic to his award-winning books Drawn: The Art of Ascent, Eventually a Sequoia, and Earth Almanac, Collins is a bottomless well of inspired expression
