Piece description from the artist
Big puffy clouds hover above a colorful field full of summer Alfalfa and wildflowers that grow along the edge of the crops. A storm begins to form, creating lovely deep tones of gray in the clouds and a soft blue sky above. I very much love the energy of summer storms in these big wide open spaces, where I can watch the clouds grow and change as the storm becomes stronger. Summer rain smells amazing in the countryside, and the slight breezes after a storm are always nice and cool on a hot day. The sounds of nature come alive after a rainstorm, and it's so calming to listen to the symphony of bugs, animals, and grass in harmony in the breeze.
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.
