Piece description from the artist
After camping in the Rocky Mountains, I was inspired to draw this minimalist botanical illustration of a trio of leaves. Blending clean, modern design with charming folk art motifs, I captured their simplicity in my signature folk art style. Arranged side-by-side against a soft cream background, the leaves showcase a gentle palette of pastel blue, mint green, and warm coral, each detailed with crisp white geometric veining that creates an elegant symmetry. A playful contrast is found in the jewel-toned stems, making this nature-inspired piece a perfect balance of rustic warmth and contemporary simplicity.
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.
