In the artist's own words:

" The West – it’s mountains, wildlife, glaciers, horses – it’s Remington and Russell – it’s big sky country. The West is a place rich in history and images. Rich in subject matter for my work.

After 25 years of image making I wonder if I live here because of the work I do, or if I do the work I do because I live here. It’s an interesting question for which I don’t have an answer. I do know for certain that my art is a direct result of my experiences in this place I call home.

Peaks I’ve climbed, wildlife I’ve pursued, the sound of the wind and the drums. The smell of a lodge campfire, people I’ve loved, these experiences make up my cache of inspiration. I don’t believe I could have created the art if I had not first lived the life.

The West – her people and her places, are my muse."
