Piece description from the artist
This photograph captures a powerful moment of movement and stillness on the American plains. A massive herd of bison moves through a lush, green field, their heavy forms partially veiled by the soft, tall grasses in the foreground. The image is defined by a beautiful sense of scale and atmosphere, capturing the bison huddled together, their dark, textured coats creating a grounded, earthy presence.
The Fly-Over: Above them, a scattered flock of birds takes to the sky, their light and airy silhouettes providing a sharp contrast to the weight of the giants below.
Shot with a shallow depth of field and a muted, cinematic color palette, the scene feels like a quiet, rediscovered moment from the wild. The hazy, overcast sky flattens the light, emphasizing the raw, natural beauty of the prairie.
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.
