Piece description from the artist
I was excited to capture this photograph of a quiet, expansive moment in the heart of the American West. Set against a deep, gradient sky that transitions from a rich teal to a soft haze, a row of corrugated metal grain bins stands as a sentinel over a sun-drenched field. I love this time of year for the golden textures of late-summer prairie grass. A scattered flock of birds in flight adds a sense of movement and fleeting life to the stillness of the rural landscape. With its moody lighting and weathered industrial subject matter, the image evokes a feeling of nostalgic Americana and the vast, open solitude of the plains.
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.
