Piece description from the artist
This lovely moment, with the setting sun illuminating a flock of birds as they fly above a grain elevator near Bozeman, Montana, was one that I had wanted to capture for a few weeks. I had seen these birds flying near the elevator, and wanted to capture them flying above the roof of the elevator, and was happy to capture this image of the late day sun casting a warm glow in the sky. I love the simplicity of grain elevators, and how their forms are utilitarian and iconic, as they are easy to spot on the landscape of the American west, towering over the fields.
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.
