Piece description from the artist
This little bat is doing what he does best, hanging upside down waiting on the sun to set. He is a baby fruit bat, and was born in Borneo. He and his colony like dark, cool places that smell like earth. The drawing was originally done in my sketchbook with pen and ink. I was inspired to draw a portrait of this little bat when I toured the Lewis and Clark Caverns in Montana, and despite there not being bats on the tour, there was some flying around the areas where we camped nearby. I researched them and found their features interesting.
Annie was born and raised in Montana, growing up on her family's ranch in the beautiful Smith River Valley. Growing up in Montana's wild and beautiful Landscape led to her deep love of nature and all things rural. Annie attended the Art Institute of Colorado and lived in Denver Colorado until the completion of her Interior Design degree in 2002. After working in that field for several years, Annie moved back to Montana and began her own business, focusing on her ever-growing love of photography. She began traveling the backroads and wilderness of Montana and the Rocky Mountain region and selling her photos professionally in galleries, shops, and online. She primarily searches for rural Landscapes, old barns, abandoned farmhouses, and occasionally wildlife she encounters. Her work as been featured in HGTV, Better Homes and Gardens, and featured in three books on emerging artists of the United States. She currently lives in Billings, Montana, and takes several trips during the year to gather new images.
