Art, Adventure, & Awesomeness

Thunder Mountainworks was born from a simple idea: create art, share adventures, and increase awesomeness.

I’m John Kelley, artist and founder of Thunder Mountainworks. The mountains and desert of the southwest have informed and influenced much of my artwork. I’ve been blessed to travel the world working in the fields of education, experiential learning, guiding, and community and environmental service. I hope you enjoy the site, that it inspires you to create art, have adventures, and do something awesome in service of others today.
