<h4><strong style="color: var(--secondary_headings_color);">Artist Biography</strong></h4>

<p>Ernie Stripling’s journey as an artist began in the heart of East Texas and flourished amidst the sprawling landscapes of Dallas and Fort Worth. From his earliest days as an elementary school student, Stripling’s mother recognized a spark of creativity in her son and sent him to learn from a local artist—a formative experience that planted the seeds of a lifelong passion for visual art. Although creativity was uniquely his own, with no family history in the arts, Stripling’s path was steadfast. </p><p> He pursued a BFA from Texas Tech University with a focus on commercial art and art education, followed by an MA from the University of Dallas in studio ceramic sculpture. These years would establish a foundation that set him apart—a blend of technical mastery and a keen eye for beauty in form and function.</p><p> </p><p> Stripling’s career after university was marked by roles as a commercial illustrator and digital artist, mastering emerging technologies such as technical illustrations on Sun UNIX Micro Systems and the beginnings of the personal computer world in the mid-1980s thru the 1990s. His technological savvy eventually led to work as a Chief Technology Officer for his local large school district. &nbsp;&nbsp;Yet, the call of the natural world persisted, steadily pulling him back to his true passion: capturing the sublime in the world around him.</p><p> </p><p> Today, Stripling is renowned for his vibrant, sweeping photographic panoramas of America’s national parks. For him, these landscapes are more than compositions; they are testaments to God’s handiwork, and the high-resolution images he crafts serve as windows that usher the glory of creation into our daily lives. In the field, Stripling employs advanced techniques such as focus stacking and exposure bracketing, layering complexity upon complexity until each image achieves a nearly tactile sense of presence. These skills have been honed over years of exploration and refined through his role as an associate instructor with National Park Photography Expeditions, LLC.</p><p> </p><p> What makes Stripling’s work distinctive is his deep understanding of the language of images. He skillfully employs leading lines and nuanced composition to guide the viewer’s gaze across his photographs, inviting us to linger and discover the intricacies of nature’s design. His art reads like a story—unfolding from left to right, drawing viewers inward to experience the serenity and majesty of the land.</p><p> </p><p> Stripling is also a member of several esteemed organizations, including the Professional Photographers of America, the Texas Professional Photographers Association, the Visual Arts Society of Texas, the Texas Visual Arts Association, and the American Institute of Graphic Arts. His work has been featured in notable exhibitions and competitions: “Sunset at Cedar Breaks National Monument” and “Zion National Park” with the National Park Foundation’s Share the Experience; “Above the Clouds Mt. Nebo” and “Petite Jean Water Fall” with the U.S. Forest Service; “Turtle Rock at Dripping Springs,” lauded by Photographers Forum’s Best of Photography; and recognition by the International Landscape Photography Awards’ Top 100 and Art Takes Miami.</p><p> </p><p> Beyond the lens, Stripling’s life is enriched by family and faith. He loves traveling with his wife, cherishes time with grandchildren, and is active in Redeemer Church. In a whimsical twist, he and his wife even portray Santa and Mrs. Claus during the holiday season in Dallas and Fort Worth—another channel for sharing joy.</p><p> </p><p> Now retired, Stripling dedicates himself to his artistic calling, intent on expanding his portfolio with new vistas and offering travel books and large-scale fine art prints. He believes landscape art has the power to enrich the soul, inviting viewers into moments of serenity and awe. For Stripling, art is not just a reflection but a celebration of creation—an essential reminder, he says, of the profound beauty that God surrounds us all.</p><p class="ql-paragraph-2"><br></p>

<p class="ql-paragraph-2"><em>"Whispers Beneath the Canopy", Ernie Stripling, 2025</em></p><p class="ql-paragraph-2">Tall, slender trees with textured bark stretch upwards, their trunks punctuating a lush undergrowth of various green plants and ferns. Moss clings to many of the tree trunks, adding an additional layer of texture and color. Light filters softly through the canopy, creating a gentle glow and subtle mist that enhances the depth and tranquility of the forest environment. The overall composition evokes a serene and untouched natural landscape, rich with life and vibrant shades of green.</p>
