Piece description from the artist
Driving through a cool, rainy Fall day in the rural countryside, I came across this clearing of aspen trees, where a herd of horses were grazing in their haven hidden in the trees. When I walked up to the meadow, they all began to run towards me, wanting to come greet me. This was such a lovely moment to photograph, surrounded by the this forest of trees as the fog lifted above, and these friendly horses ran up to me and let me pet them. Horses have long been members of the American West, and have been a foundation of life here. I respect their strength and willingness to work alongside us.
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.
