Piece description from the artist
This highland cow was one of the very first wildlife pieces that I created. Highland cows have incredibly detailed and colorful coats so I had a lot of fun integrating a variety of colors and textures onto this spectacular animal!
Admittedly, I had one issue with my highland cow. One of the characteristics of highlands that make them extra unique is that they have "bangs" that often cover their eyes. While I wanted to showcase the silly hairdo of the average highland, I also thought it was important to showcase his personality via his eyes as well.
Thus, my highland has a few stray "brows" covering his eyes. Like many of my pieces, this also has a hidden home-blessing within. Can you find it?

Traci is a self- taught artist that spent the majority of her career as a social worker.

Thus, Traci's goal is to create art that makes people look at everyday things with a childlike sense of wonder and enthusiasm.
Traci's art typically features the unique wildlife that share her Eastern Montana home and all sorts of dog breeds. Her work is inspired by her outdoorsy, animal-loving husband, two energetic, creative and funny teenagers, and three loving and wildly high-strung, German hunting dogs.
