From Mike Glier's website:

Mike Glier draws and paints to explore topics of common interest. He also teaches, which he considers a happy, satisfying, and dematerialized part of his creative output. Masculine identity, desire, and violence informed much of his early work. For the last two decades, however, he has focused on the human relationship with land. “My landscape projects are propelled by a number of things, including the love of paint and abstraction, but most importantly, by a desire to do my part to help make the changes in philosophy that are required if humanity is to create a sustainable future.
